Evaluating second-order phase transitions with Diagrammatic Monte Carlo: Néel Transition in the doped three-dimensional Hubbard model

Diagrammatic Monte Carlo -- the technique for numerically exact summation of all Feynman diagrams to high orders -- offers a unique unbiased probe of continuous phase transitions. Being formulated directly in the thermodynamic limit, the diagrammatic series is bound to diverge and is not resummable at the transition due to the non-analyticity of physical observables. This enables the detection of the transition with controlled error bars from an analysis of the series coefficients alone, avoiding the challenge of evaluating physical observables near the transition. We demonstrate this technique by the example of the Néel transition in the $3d$ Hubbard model. At half-filling and higher temperatures, the method matches the accuracy of state-of-the-art finite-size techniques, but surpasses it at low temperatures and allows us to map the phase diagram in the doped regime, where finite-size techniques struggle from the fermion sign problem. At low temperatures and sufficient doping, the transition to an incommensurate spin density wave state is observed.

Entropy in the non-Fermi-liquid regime of the doped $2d$ Hubbard model

We study thermodynamic properties of the doped Hubbard model on the square lattice in the regime of strong charge and spin fluctuations at low temperatures near the metal-to-insulator crossover and obtain results with controlled accuracy using the diagrammatic Monte Carlo method directly in the thermodynamic limit. The behavior of the entropy reveals a non-Fermi-liquid state at sufficiently high interactions near half-filling: a maximum in the entropy at non-zero doping develops as the coupling strength is increased, along with an inflection point, evidencing a metal to non-Fermi-liquid crossover. The specific heat exhibits additional distinctive features of a non-Fermi-liquid state. Measurements of the entropy can therefore be used as a probe of the state of the system in quantum simulation experiments with ultracold atoms in optical lattices.

Magnetic Correlations in the Two-dimensional Repulsive Fermi Hubbard Model

The repulsive Fermi Hubbard model on the square lattice has a rich phase diagram near half-filling (corresponding to the particle density per lattice site $n=1$): for $n=1$ the ground state is an antiferromagnetic insulator, at $0.6 < n \lesssim 0.8$, it is a $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superfluid (at least for moderately strong interactions $U \lesssim 4t$ in terms of the hopping $t$), and the region $1-n \ll 1$ is most likely subject to phase separation. Much of this physics is preempted at finite temperatures and to an extent driven by strong magnetic fluctuations, their quantitative characteristics and how they change with the doping level being much less understood. Experiments on ultra-cold atoms have recently gained access to this interesting fluctuation regime, which is now under extensive investigation. In this work we employ a self-consistent skeleton diagrammatic approach to quantify the characteristic temperature scale $T_{M}(n)$ for the onset of magnetic fluctuations with a large correlation length and identify their nature. Our results suggest that the strongest fluctuations---and hence highest $T_{M}$ and easiest experimental access to this regime---are observed at $U/t \approx 4-6$.
