Exact Results for the Many-Electron Problem: Competing Orders in a Nearly Antiferromagnetic Metal

Simon Trebst

One of the most challenging problems in computational condensed matter physics is the simulation of many-electron systems by unbiased numerical techniques. Quantum Monte Carlo approaches – typically the method of choice for quantum many-body systems with bosonic or spin degrees of freedom – are oftentimes limited to handle many-electron systems due to the infamous fermion-sign problem that severely limits the computational efficiency of this otherwise very potent class of algorithms. Here we report on an elegant approach to overcome the fermion-sign problem in the study of competing quantum magnetism and superconductivity in metals. This approach allows us to study the onset of spin-density wave order in such itinerant electron systems via two-dimensional lattice models amenable to numerically exact, sign-problem-free determinantal quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The finite-temperature phase diagram of these models reveal a dome-shaped d-wave superconducting phase near the magnetic quantum phase transition. The striking similarity of these numerical results to the experimentally observed phenomenology of many unconventional superconductors points a way to a microscopic understanding of such strongly coupled systems in a controlled manner.

Geometry dependence of the sign problem in quantum Monte Carlo simulations

Vladimir Iglovikov, Ehsan Khatami, Richard T. Scalettar

The sign problem is the fundamental limitation to quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the statistical mechanics of interacting fermions. Determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) is one of the leading methods to study lattice fermions, such as the Hubbard Hamiltonian, which describe strongly correlated phenomena including magnetism, metal-insulator transitions, and possibly exotic superconductivity. Here, we provide a comprehensive dataset on the geometry dependence of the DQMC sign problem for different densities, interaction strengths, temperatures, and spatial lattice sizes. We supplement these data with several observations concerning general trends in the data, including the dependence on spatial volume and how this can be probed by examining decoupled clusters, the scaling of the sign in the vicinity of a particle-hole symmetric point, and the correlation between the total sign and the signs for the individual spin species.
