Diagrammatic Monte Carlo simulation of quantum impurity models
نویسنده
چکیده
Quantum impurity models play an important role as representations of molecular conductors and in the “dynamical mean field” method, currently one of the most promising tools for studying the physics of fermionic lattice models. Despite their zero-dimensional nature, the numerical simulation of impurity models remains a challenging task. Progress has been achieved with the recent development of diagrammatic Monte Carlo techniques [1–4]. This simulation approach relies on a diagrammatic expansion of the partition function and the stochastic sampling of collections of diagrams. I will explain the key ideas behind this diagrammatic method for fermionic systems, and illustrate its power and flexibility with dynamical mean field results for multi-orbital models [5].

Quantum Monte Carlo impurity solver for cluster dynamical mean-field theory and electronic structure calculations with adjustable cluster base
We generalized the recently introduced impurity solver P. Werner et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 076405 2006 based on the diagrammatic expansion around the atomic limit and quantum Monte Carlo summation of the diagrams. We present generalization to the cluster of impurities, which is at the heart of the cluster dynamical mean-field methods, and to realistic multiplet structure of a correlated atom...
متن کاملConductance of quantum impurity models from quantum Monte Carlo
The conductance of two Anderson impurity models, one with twofold and another with fourfold degeneracy, representing two types of quantum dots, is calculated using a world-line quantum Monte Carlo QMC method. Extrapolation of the imaginary time QMC data to zero frequency yields the linear conductance, which is then compared to numerical renormalization-group results in order to assess its accur...
متن کاملAll-coupling theory for the Fröhlich polaron
The Fröhlich model describes the interaction of a mobile impurity with a surrounding bath of phonons which leads to the formation of a quasiparticle, the polaron. In this paper an efficient renormalization group approach is presented which provides a description of Fröhlich polarons in all regimes ranging from weak to strong coupling. The extended renormalization group approach introduced here ...
متن کاملImportance of electron-impurity scattering for electron transport in terahertz quantum-cascade lasers
Using an ensemble Monte Carlo simulation, including both electron–electron and electron–phonon scattering as well as electron-impurity scattering, the current density, population inversion, electron temperature, and gain in two THz quantum-cascade structures are investigated and compared to measurements. We find that the inclusion of electron-impurity scattering in the calculations is crucial w...
