The density matrix renormalization group and nuclear structure

Stuart Pittel, B Thakur, Nicolae Sandulescu

"We briefly review the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) method and its potential use in large-scale nuclear shell-model calculations. We propose the use of an angular-momentum-conserving variant of the method (the JDMRG) and report the first test results of such an approach for the nucleus 48 Cr. The positive results of these calculations have motivated us to search for an even more efficient means of implementing the JDMRG strategy and the status of these efforts is also described."

The Density Matrix Renormalization Group and the Shell Model

Stuart Pittel, B Thakur

We summarize our recent efforts to develop the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) method into a practical truncation strategy for large-scale nuclear shell model calculations. Following an overview of the essential features of the DMRG, we discuss the changes we have implemented for its use in nuclei. In particular, we have found it useful to develop an angular-momentum conserving variant of the method (the JDMRG). We then summarize the principal results we have obtained to date, first reporting test results for $^{48}$Cr and then more recent test results for $^{56}$Ni. In both cases we consider nucleons limited to the 2p-1f shell. While both calculations produce a high level of agreement with the exact shell model results, the fraction of the complete space required to achieve this high level of agreement is found to go down rapidly as the size of the full space grows.

Density matrix renormalization group and wavefunction factorization for nuclei

T. Papenbrock, David J. Dean

We employ the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and the wavefunction factorization method for the numerical solution of large-scale nuclear structure problems. The DMRG exhibits an improved convergence for problems with realistic interactions due to the implementation of the finite algorithm. The wavefunction factorization of fpg -shell nuclei yields rapidly converging approximations that are at the present frontier for large-scale shell-model calculations.

The Density Matrix Renormalization Group and Nuclear Structure

We briefly review the key features of the Density Matrix Renormalization Group method, focusing on its potential use in solving large‐scale nuclear shell‐model problems. A test application of an angular‐momentum‐conserving variant of the method in 48Cr shows its great promise.

The density matrix renormalization group: a new approach to large-scale nuclear structure calculations

Stuart Pittel, J. Dukelsky

A new approach to large-scale nuclear structure calculations, based on the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), is described. The DMRG method, which was developed originally in the framework of low-dimensional quantum lattices, has recently been extended to finite Fermi systems. Following a general description of this extended DMRG methodology, we briefly review its first application to a pairing hamiltonian. We then discuss its application to a schematic nuclear model involving many identical nucleons constrained to move in a single large-j shell. In those cases in which exact diagonalization of the hamiltonian is possible, the method is able to reproduce the exact results with extreme precision. Results are also presented for a model problem in which exact solution is not feasible.
