Exact Solution of Quadratic Fermionic Hamiltonians for Arbitrary Boundary Conditions.
We present a procedure for exactly diagonalizing finite-range quadratic fermionic Hamiltonians with arbitrary boundary conditions in one of D dimensions, and periodic in the remaining D-1. The key is a Hamiltonian-dependent separation of the bulk from the boundary. By combining information from the two, we identify a matrix function that fully characterizes the solutions, and may be used to con...
متن کاملGround State Connectivity of Local Hamiltonians
The study of ground spaces of local Hamiltonians is a fundamental task in condensed matter physics. In terms of computational complexity theory, a common focus has been to estimate a given Hamiltonian’s ground state energy. However, from a physics perspective, it is often more relevant to understand the structure of the ground space itself. In this paper, we pursue this latter direction by intr...
متن کاملQuantum ground state isoperimetric inequalities for the energy spectrum of local Hamiltonians
We investigate the relationship between the energy spectrum of a local Hamiltonian and the geometric properties of its ground state. By generalizing a standard framework from the analysis of Markov chains to arbitrary (non-stoquastic) Hamiltonians we are naturally led to see that the spectral gap can always be upper bounded by an isoperimetric ratio that depends only on the ground state probabi...
متن کاملSemi - fermionic representation of SU ( N ) Hamiltonians
We represent the generators of the SU(N) algebra as bilinear combinations of Fermi operators with imaginary chemical potential. The distribution function, consisting of a minimal set of discrete imaginary chemical potentials, is introduced to satisfy the local constraints. This representation leads to the conventional temperature diagram technique with standard Feynman codex, except that the Ma...
متن کاملHamiltonians Defined as Quadratic Forms *
We present a complete mathematical theory of two-body quantum mechanics for a class of potentials which is larger than the usual L-classes and which includes potentials with singularities as bad as r~ + . The basic idea is to define H0 4V as a sum of quadratic forms rather than as an operator sum.
