Variational Block Correlated Coupled Cluster Monte Carlo

Abstract

Motivated by the recent success of quantum neural states, we present a variational implementation of the coupled cluster method suitable for quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We introduce a Young tableaux representation of the wave-function coefficients and their derivatives that substantially reduces the computational complexity of the variational optimization. While the algorithm is generic, we illustrate its implementation with an application to the Heisenberg model in one and two dimensions, using the block correlated coupled cluster ansatz (BCCC) with doubles and triples. Convergence is greatly improved by means of importance sampling based on a fictitious temperature. The resulting approach achieves competitive accuracy while providing a scalable framework for variational coupled-cluster calculations.

Kondo Lattice model for field induced triplet pairing in CeRh$_2$As$_2$

Spin triplet superconductors are of interest because of their topological properties, and their robustness to high magnetic fields. CeRh$_2$As$_2$ is a unique heavy fermion superconductor with both even-parity and candidate odd-parity superconducting phases with a special feature enabling a field induced phase transition between the two. The field induced transition which switches the parity of the Cooper pairs is enabled by a staggered antisymmetric spin orbit coupling (ASOC) interaction. However, the heavy fermion origins of the superconductivity in CeRh$_2$As$_2$ and the origin of the antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling are currently unexplored. Here, we develop a Kondo lattice model for CeRh$_2$As$_2$ and demonstrate how local hybridization between Cerium $d$- and $f$-orbitals, driven by the locally broken inversion symmetry, at the Cerium sites generates the ASOC. The resulting Kondo lattice model leads to nearly degenerate even and odd parity superconducting states that display a field induced parity transition between an even-parity state and an odd-parity pseudospin triplet state. We discuss the wider implications of our results extended to other heavy fermion systems like CeSiI.

Chiral magnetic excitations in the RMn6Sn6 kagome metals (R=Tb, Ho, Er, and Y)

Recent inelastic neutron scattering (INS) investigations of the kagome metal TbMn6Sn6 reveal novel chiral magnetic excitations associated with the kagome layer. These excitations appear to have an itinerant character with a large energy scale (> 100 meV) and heavy damping; however, the origin of these excitations, which are not predicted by local moment linear spin-wave theory, is not understood. Here, we use INS to show that chiral excitations are also found in RMn6Sn6 compounds with R=Tb, Ho, Er, and Y having uniaxial, tilted, planar ferrimagnet, and planar double-spiral magnetic structures, respectively. Thus, the chiral excitations exist regardless of the magnetic structure. Additionally, R=Er and Y demonstrate that the chiral mode intensity is weaker in planar magnetic structures, suggesting that excitations are transverse to the local Mn moment direction. The chiral excitations appear only at L=odd positions in the Brilloun zone, and correspond to chiral spin exciations of the same handedness within each kagome layer, and pi out-of-phase between layers.

Finite-temperature spectral functions of lattice polarons with process tensors

We develop a process tensor approach for calculating the finite-temperature spectral functions of lattice polarons. We show that the finite-temperature phonon influence functional can be expressed as the elementwise exponential of a low-rank matrix product state, enabling an efficient summation of electron worldlines. An embedding construction embeds worldlines of different propagation times into a single matrix product state. This construction yields the propagator over the full simulated time interval in a single calculation. We benchmark this approach against available finite-temperature density-matrix renormalization group results for the one-dimensional Holstein polaron. We further obtain numerically converged spectra for the two-dimensional Holstein polaron. The spectra reveal a progressive transfer of spectral weight from coherent spectral features into an incoherent background with increasing temperature.
