We calculate the ground-state energy, pair correlation function, static structure factor, and momentum density of the one-dimensional electron fluid at high density using variational quantum Monte Carlo simulation. For an infinitely thin cylindrical wire the predicted correlation energy is found to fit nicely with a quadratic function of coupling parameter
rs. The extracted exponent $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ of the momentum density for $k\ensuremath{\sim}{k}_{F}$ is used to determine the Tomonaga-Luttinger parameter ${K}_{\ensuremath{\rho}}$ as a function of
rs in the high-density regime. We find that the simulated static structure factor and pair correlation function for infinitely thin wires agree with our recent high-density theory [K. Morawetz et al., Phys. Rev. B 97, 155147 (2018)].
We explicitly build a generalized local-density approximation (GLDA) correlation functional based on one-dimensional uniform electron gases (UEGs). The fundamental parameters of the GLDA---a generalization of the widely known local-density approximation used in density-functional theory---are the electronic density $\ensuremath{\rho}$ and a two-electron local parameter called the hole curvature $\ensuremath{\eta}$. The UEGs considered in this study are finite versions of the conventional infinite homogeneous electron gas and consist of
n electrons on an infinitely thin wire with periodic boundary conditions. We perform a comprehensive study of these finite UEGs at high, intermediate, and low densities using perturbation theory and quantum Monte Carlo calculations. We show that the present GLDA functional yields accurate estimates of the correlation energy for both weakly and strongly correlated one-dimensional systems and can be easily generalized to higher-dimensional systems.
Abstract In this work, the computational method of Variational Monte Carlo is used to study the ground state properties of electron-hole (e-h) bi-wire systems. We have calculated the pair correlation function and static structure factor of a coupled infinitely thin e-h wire system of electronic density (rs= 1) and inter-wire distance (d = 1). The numerical calculation is carried out using the many-body trial wave function of the Slater-Jastrow backflow type. It is observed that the inter-wire correlations become quite important in the case of the mass-symmetric electron-hole bi-wire system due to the coulomb attractive nature of the bi-wire system.
