Bose–Hubbard models: methods of treatment
Maciej Lewenstein, Anna Sanpera, V. Ahufinger
This chapter reviews various theoretical methods that can be applied to investigate Bose–Hubbard models. In particular, it discusses the Bogolyubov method, strong coupling expansion, the perturbative mean field approach and the Gutzwiller method, exact diagonalization, quantum Monte Carlo methods, semi-classical phase space methods, and methods specifics for 1D (Wigner-Jordan transformation, Bethe ansatz, bosonization). The chapter end with a discussion about numerical renormalization approaches in 1D (DMRG, MPS) and 2D (PEPS; MERA).
