Numerical simulations - Some results for the 2- and 3-D Hubbard models and a 2-D electron phonon model

Numerical simulations on the half-filled three-dimensional Hubbard model clearly show the onset of Neel order. Simulations of the two-dimensional electron-phonon Holstein model show the competition between the formation of a Peierls-CDW state and a superconducting state. However, the behavior of the partly filled two-dimensional Hubbard model is more difficult to determine. At half-filling, the antiferromagnetic correlations grow as T is reduced. Doping away from half-filling suppresses these correlations, and it is found that there is a weak attractive pairing interaction in the d-wave channel. However, the strength of the pair field susceptibility is weak at the temperatures and lattice sizes that have been simulated, and the nature of the low-temperature state of the nearly half-filled Hubbard model remains open.

Phase Diagram of the Two-Chain Hubbard Model

We have calculated the charge gap and spin gap for the two-chain Hubbard model as a function of the on-site Coulomb interaction and the interchain hopping amplitude. We used the density matrix renormalization group method and developed a method to calculate separately the gaps numerically for the symmetric and antisymmetric modes with respect to the exchange of the chain indices. We have found very different behaviors for the weak and strong interaction cases. Our calculated phase diagram is compared to the one obtained by Balents and Fisher using the weak coupling renormalization group technique.

Phase diagram of the two-dimensional negative-U Hubbard model

Theoretical arguments and numerical calculations are used to discuss the phase diagram of the two-dimensional negative-U Hubbard model. The results are consistent with (1) a vanishing transition temperature at half-filling but with a ground state having both superconducting and charge-density-wave long-range order, and (2) a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition at a finite temperature into a superconducting state with power-law decay of the pairing correlations away from half-filling.

Simulating a Low-Weight Encoding of the Fermi-Hubbard Model Feedback and Support with QAOA

Recent work [1] has proposed a compact fermion-to-qubit mapping for the Fermi-Hubbard model (FHM), potentially lowering the overhead needed to simulate such a system on quantum hardware. In prior work [2], we numerically investigated how well a quantum annealer could prepare ground states of the FHM encoded using the resource-efficient mapping. In order to compare these results to gate-model systems, we turn to a QAOA-style approach and replace the annealing schedule with both Trotterizations thereof and also more general Hamiltonian-variational ansatze based on the terms of the mapped FH Hamiltonian. We investigate the achievable ground state fidelities of these gate sequences, consider various optimizations of the ansatze structure, and offer resource estimations of the optimized QAOA protocols for near-term hardware.

Monte Carlo calculation of dynamical properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model

A new method is introduced for analytically continuing imaginary-time data from quantum Monte Carlo calculations to the real-frequency axis. The method is based on a least-squares-fitting procedure with constraints of positivity and smoothness on the real-frequency quantities. Results are shown for the single-particle spectral-weight function and density of states for the half-filled, two-dimensional Hubbard model.

Conserving approximations for strongly correlated electron systems - Bethe-Salpeter equation and dynamics for the two-dimensional Hubbard model

A semianalytical approach is described for strongly correlated electronic systems which satisfies microscopic conservation laws, treats strong frequency and momentum dependences, and provides information on both static and dynamic properties. This approach may be used to treat large systems and temperatures lower than those currently accessible to finite-temperature quantum Monte Carlo techniques. Examples of such systems include heavy-electron compounds, organic Bechegaard salts, bis-(ethylenedithiolo)-TTF superconductors, and the oxide superconductors. The technique is based on the derivation and self-consistent solution of infinite-order conserving approximations. The technique is used to derive a low-temperature phase diagram and dynamic correlation functions for the two-dimensional Hubbard lattice model.

Role of phonons in the metal-insulator phase transition.

Review, for the transition series oxides, of the Mattis and Lander model, which is one of electrons interacting with lattice vibrations (electron and phonon interaction). The model displays superconducting, insulating, and metallic phases. Its basic properties evolve from a finite crystallographic distortion associated with a dominant phonon mode and the splitting of the Brillouin zone into two subzones, a property of simple cubic and body centered cubic lattices. The order of the metal-insulator phase transition is examined. The basic model has a second-order phase transition and the effects of additional mechanisms on the model are calculated. The way in which these mechanisms affect the magnetically ordered transition series oxides as described by the Hubbard model is discussed.

Spin bipolaron in the framework of emery model for high-T(sub c) copper oxide superconductors

The high-T(sub c) oxide compounds discovered recently exhibit a number of interesting physical properties. Two-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin order has been observed in these materials at the oxygen deficiency. This fact can be explained by strong correlation of the spins, situated on Cu sites in the conducting planes of the oxide superconductors. The doping or the oxygen deficiency lead to the occurrence of holes, occupying the oxygen p-orbitals according to the Emery model. At the small hole concentration they can move along the antiferromagnetic lattice of spins, localized on Cu sites. Researchers consider the two holes situation and describe in what way their behavior depends on the antiferromagnetic exchange interation J. It is known that in the framework of Hubbard model with strong on-site Coulomb repulsion, a single hole can form a spin polaron of the large radius. It is reasonable to admit that two holes with parallel spins (triplet) form the spin bipolaron complex owing to the hole excitations' capability to polarize Cu spin surroundings. Such an excitation was considered in the phenomenological way. Here the problem is discussed on the basis of the microscopic approach in the framework of the variational principle. A special kind of wave function is used for such a purpose. The wave function is constructed by generalizing the trial functions proposed in over two holes excitation situation (triplet) and then the region of spin bipolaron existance in the framework of Emery model is studied. In this model the Hamiltonian can be easily rewritten by forming the oxygen states transforming as the irreducible representations of the group D(sub 4).

Incoherent vs. coherent behavior in the normal state of copper oxide superconductors

The self-consistent quantum fluctuations around the mean-field Hartree-Fock state of the Hubbard model provide a very good description of the ground state and low temperature properties of a 2-D itinerant antiferromagnet. Very good agreement with numerical calculations and experimental data is obtained by including the one- and two-loop spin wave corrections to various physical quantities. In particular, the destruction of the long-range order above the Neel temperature can be understood as a spontaneous generation of a length-scale epsilon(T), which should be identified as the spin correlation length. For finite doping, the question of the Hartree-Fock starting point becomes a more complex one since an extra hole tends to self-trap in antiferromagnetic background. Such quantum defects in an underlying antiferromagnetic state can be spin-bags or vortex-like structures and tend to suppress the long-range order. If motion of the holes occurs on a time-scale shorter than the one associated with the motion of these quantum defects of a spin background, one obtains several important empirical features of the normal state of CuO superconductors like linear T-dependence of resistivity, the cusp in the tunneling density of states, etc. As opposed to a familiar Fermi-liquid behavior, the phenomenology of the above system is dominated by a large incoherent piece of a single hole propagator, resulting in many unusual normal state properties.

Charge and Spin Dynamics of the Hubbard Chains

We calculate the local correlation functions of charge and spin for the one-chain and two-chain Hubbard model using density matrix renormalization group method and the recursion technique. Keeping only finite number of states we get good accuracy for the low energy excitations. We study the charge and spin gaps, bandwidths and weights of the spectra for various values of the on-site Coulomb interaction U and the electron filling. In the low energy part, the local correlation functions are different for the charge and spin. The bandwidths are proportional to t for the charge and J for the spin respectively.

Interior structure of Jupiter - Theory of gravity sounding

Using relatively simple interior models and a fourth-order theory of figures, it is found that there are basically two extremes of interior structure which agree with current gravity data. One extreme is a 'solar'-composition envelope with 10 to 15 earth masses of heavy material in a core; the other extreme has nearly uniform 'solar' composition but with approximately an additional 30 earth masses of heavy material distributed essentially uniformly. Thus, Jupiter is not of 'solar' composition. It is shown how additional gravity data and improvement in knowledge of the molecular hydrogen equation of state will permit a significant reduction in the number of possible models.

The epsilon Geminorum occultation - Evidence for waves or turbulence

Intercomparison of occultation data from various observatories shows poor correlation of the raw data but apparent correlations in the derived temperature profiles, as discussed in a paper by French and Elliott. We point out that the data are at least as consistent with Martian scintillation as they are with a semiglobal wave model.

The structure of the planets Jupiter and Saturn

Planetary models for Jupiter and Saturn are computed using a fourth-order theory and an equation of state for the molecular hydrogen and helium planetary envelopes taken from the Monte Carlo calculations of Slattery and Hubbard (1976). Models for Jupiter are found that have a small amount of heavy elements either mixed with hydrogen and helium throughout the interior of the planet or concentrated in a small dense core. Saturn is modeled with a solar-composition hydrogen and helium envelope and a small dense core. It is concluded that the molecular equation of state linked with suitable interior equations of state can produce Jovian models which satisfy the observational data. The planetary models show that the enrichment of heavy elements (relative to solar composition) is approximately 3 times for Jupiter and 10 times for Saturn.

Ab initio ground states of strongly-correlated materials on quantum computers

The accurate first-principles description of strongly-correlated materials is an important and challenging problem in condensed matter physics. Ab initio downfolding has emerged as a way of deriving accurate many-body Hamiltonians including strong correlations, representing a subspace of interest of a material, using density functional theory calculations as a starting point. However, the solution of these material-specific models can scale exponentially on classical computers, constituting a challenge. Here we propose that utilizing quantum computers for obtaining the properties of downfolded Hamiltonians yields an accurate description of the ground state properties of strongly-correlated systems, while circumventing the exponential scaling problem. We benchmark the solution of Hubbard-like models obtained through downfolding by utilizing a classical tensor network implementation of variational quantum eigensolvers (VQE), and we reveal a strategy for driving the optimization through a hybrid minimization of the energy and maximization of the overlap with an approximate solution obtained through low-cost computational methods. This results in a reduction of the energy error by orders of magnitude compared to conventional VQE approaches, and allows us to reproduce long-range correlations for the first time. We demonstrate our first-principles approach for diverse strongly-correlated materials, correctly predicting the antiferromagnetic state of one-dimensional cuprate Ca 2 CuO 3 , the excitonic ground state of monolayer WTe2, and the charge-ordered state of correlated metal SrVO 3 . Our efficient computational implementation allows us to simulate large systems with up to 54 qubits and encompassing up to four correlated bands, which is indicative of the complexity that our framework can address.

Cosmic rays and the emission line regions of active galactic nuclei

The effects that the synchrotron emitting relativistic electrons could have on the emission line regions which characterize active nuclei are discussed. Detailed models of both the inner, dense, broad line region and the outer, lower density, narrow line region are presented, together with the first models of the optically emitting gas often found within extended radio lobes. If the relativistic gas which produces the synchrotron radio emission is mixed with the emission line region gas then significant changes in the emission line spectrum will result. The effects of the synchrotron emitting electrons on filaments in the Crab Nebula are discussed in an appendix, along with a comparison between the experimental calculations, which employ the mean escape probability formalism, and recent Hubbard and Puetter models.

Io-accelerated electrons and ions

A description is given of a model in which the Jupiter moon Io interacts with the Jovian magnetosphere through plasma sheaths in the vicinity of Io. Several recent results available from Pioneer 10 are used to revise a Io sheath model suggested by Gurnett (1972) and developed by Hubbard et al. (1974). The revised model is used to suggest an explanation for a number of observations. Attention is also given to other phenomena which might be detectable with the aid of future experiments.
