Sparse Modeling in Quantum Many-Body Problems

This review paper describes the basic concept and technical details of sparse modeling and its applications to quantum many-body problems. Sparse modeling refers to methodologies for finding a small number of relevant parameters that well explain a given dataset. This concept reminds us physics, where the goal is to find a small number of physical laws that are hidden behind complicated phenomena. Sparse modeling extends the target of physics from natural phenomena to data, and may be interpreted as "physics for data". The first half of this review introduces sparse modeling for physicists. It is assumed that readers have physics background but no expertise in data science. The second half reviews applications. Matsubara Green's function, which plays a central role in descriptions of correlated systems, has been found to be sparse, meaning that it contains little information. This leads to (i) a new method for solving the ill-conditioned inverse problem for analytical continuation, and (ii) a highly compact representation of Matsubara Green's function, which enables efficient calculations for quantum many-body systems.

Strong-coupling formula for momentum-dependent susceptibilities in dynamical mean-field theory

Computing momentum-dependent susceptibilities in the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) requires solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation, which demands large computational cost. Exploiting the strong-coupling feature of local fluctuations, we derive a simplified formula that can be solved at a considerably lower cost. The validity and the physical meaning of the formula are confirmed by deriving the effective intersite interactions in the strong-coupling limit, such as the kinetic exchange and RKKY interactions. Furthermore, numerical calculations for single-orbital and multiorbital models demonstrate surprisingly wider applicability including weak-coupling region. Based on this formula, we propose three levels of practical approximations that can be chosen depending on complexity of problems. Simpler evaluations of spin and orbital susceptibilities in multiorbital systems thus become possible within DMFT.

SpM: Sparse modeling tool for analytic continuation of imaginary-time Green's function

We present SpM, a sparse modeling tool for the analytic continuation of imaginary-time Green's function, licensed under GNU General Public License version 3. In quantum Monte Carlo simulation, dynamic physical quantities such as single-particle and magnetic excitation spectra can be obtained by applying analytic continuation to imaginary-time data. However, analytic continuation is an ill-conditioned inverse problem and thus sensitive to noise and statistical errors. SpM provides stable analytic continuation against noise by means of a modern regularization technique, which automatically selects bases that contain relevant information unaffected by noise. This paper details the use of this program and shows some applications.

irbasis: Open-source database and software for intermediate-representation basis functions of imaginary-time Green's function

The open-source library, irbasis, provides easy-to-use tools for two sets of orthogonal functions named intermediate representation (IR). The IR basis enables a compact representation of the Matsubara Green's function and efficient calculations of quantum models. The IR basis functions are defined as the solution of an integral equation whose analytical solution is not available for this moment. The library consists of a database of pre-computed high-precision numerical solutions and computational code for evaluating the functions from the database. This paper describes technical details and demonstrates how to use the library.

Performance analysis of a physically constructed orthogonal representation of imaginary-time Green's function

The imaginary-time Green's function is a building block of various numerical methods for correlated electron systems. Recently, it was shown that a model-independent compact orthogonal representation of the Green's function can be constructed by decomposing its spectral representation. We investigate the performance of this so-called \textit{intermedaite representation} (IR) from several points of view. First, for two simple models, we study the number of coefficients necessary to achieve a given tolerance in expanding the Green's function. We show that the number of coefficients grows only as $O(\log β)$ for fermions, and converges to a constant for bosons as temperature $T=1/β$ decreases. Second, we show that this remarkable feature is ascribed to the properties of the physically constructed basis functions. The fermionic basis functions have features in the spectrum whose width is scaled as $O(T)$, which are consistent with the low-$T$ properties of quasiparticles in a Fermi liquid state. On the other hand, the properties of the bosonic basis functions are consistent with those of spin/orbital susceptibilities at low $T$. These results demonstrate the potential wide application of the IR to calculations of correlated systems.

CT-X: an efficient continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo impurity solver in Kondo Regime

In the present paper, we present an efficient continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo impurity solver with high acceptance rate at low temperature for multi-orbital quantum impurity models with general interaction. In this hybridization expansion impurity solver, the imaginary time evolution operator for the high energy multiplets, which decays very rapidly with the imaginary time, is approximated by a probability normalized $δ$-function. As the result, the virtual charge fluctuations of $f^{n}\rightarrow f^{n\pm1}$ are well included on the same footing without applying Schrieffer-Wolff transformation explicitly. As benchmarks, our algorithm perfectly reproduces the results for both Coqblin-Schriffeer and Kondo lattice models obtained by CT-J method developed by Otsuki {\it et al}. Furthermore, it allows capturing low energy physics of heavy-fermion materials directly without fitting the exchange coupling $J$ in the Kondo model.

Overcomplete compact representation of two-particle Green's functions

Two-particle Green's functions and the vertex functions play a critical role in theoretical frameworks for describing strongly correlated electron systems. However, numerical calculations at two-particle level often suffer from large computation time and massive memory consumption. We derive a general expansion formula for the two-particle Green's functions in terms of an overcomplete representation based on the recently proposed "intermediate representation" basis. The expansion formula is obtained by decomposing the spectral representation of the two-particle Green's function. We demonstrate that the expansion coefficients decay exponentially, while all high-frequency and long-tail structures in the Matsubara-frequency domain are retained. This representation therefore enables efficient treatment of two-particle quantities and opens a route to the application of modern many-body theories to realistic strongly correlated electron systems.

Compressing Green's function using intermediate representation between imaginary-time and real-frequency domains

New model-independent compact representations of imaginary-time data are presented in terms of the intermediate representation (IR) of analytical continuation. This is motivated by a recent numerical finding by the authors [J. Otsuki et al., arXiv:1702.03056]. We demonstrate the efficiency of the IR through continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo calculations of an Anderson impurity model. We find that the IR yields a significantly compact form of various types of correlation functions. The present framework will provide general ways to boost the power of cutting-edge diagrammatic/quantum Monte Carlo treatments of many-body systems.

Sparse modeling approach to analytical continuation of imaginary-time quantum Monte Carlo data

A new approach of solving the ill-conditioned inverse problem for analytical continuation is proposed. The root of the problem lies in the fact that even tiny noise of imaginary-time input data has a serious impact on the inferred real-frequency spectra. By means of a modern regularization technique, we eliminate redundant degrees of freedom that essentially carry the noise, leaving only relevant information unaffected by the noise. The resultant spectrum is represented with minimal bases and thus a stable analytical continuation is achieved. This framework further provides a tool for analyzing to what extent the Monte Carlo data need to be accurate to resolve details of an expected spectral function.

Distributed Hybridization Model for Quantum Critical Behavior in Magnetic Quasicrystals

A quantum critical behavior of the magnetic susceptibility was observed in a quasicrystal containing ytterbium. At the same time, a mixed-valence feature of Yb ions was reported, which appears to be incompatible with the magnetic instability. We derive the magnetic susceptibility by expressing the quasiperiodicity as the distributed hybridization strength between Yb 4f and conduction electrons. Assuming a wide distribution of the hybridization strength, the most f electrons behave as renormalized paramagnetic states in the Kondo or mixed-valence regime, but a small number of f moments remain unscreened. As a result, the bulk magnetic susceptibility exhibits a nontrivial power-law-like behavior, while the average f-electron occupation is that of mixed-valence systems. This model thus resolves two contradictory properties of Yb quasicrystals.

Exact dynamics of charge fluctuations in the multichannel interacting resonant level model

A modified version of the spinless Anderson model is studied by means of the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method. This study is motivated by the peculiar heavy-fermion behavior observed in certain Samarium compounds, which is insensitive to magnetic field. The model involves M channels for conduction electrons, all of which interact with local f electron via the Coulomb repulsion Ufc, while only one channel has hybridization with the local state. The effective hybridization is reduced by the Anderson orthogonality effect, and a quantum critical point occurs with increasing M and/or increasing Ufc. The numerical results at finite temperature of the local charge susceptibility are well fitted by a simple scaling theory for all M. However, the single-particle spectrum is described by a double Lorentzian for M>1, in contrast with the single Lorentzian with M=1. A quasi-particle perturbation theory is presented that reproduces the quantum critical point for large M. The quasi-particle theory gives not only the renormalized energy scale, but its extrapolation toward higher energies being consistent with the double Lorentzian spectrum.

Competing d-Wave and p-Wave Spin-Singlet Superconductivities in the Two-Dimensional Kondo Lattice

The Kondo lattice model describes a quantum phase transition between the antiferromagnetic state and heavy-fermion states. Applying the dual-fermion approach, we explore possible superconductivities emerging due to the critical antiferromagnetic fluctuations. The d-wave pairing is found to be the leading instability only in the weak-coupling regime. As the coupling is increased, we observe a change of the pairing symmetry into a p-wave spin-singlet pairing. The competing superconductivities are ascribed to crossover between small and large Fermi surfaces, which occurs with formation of heavy quasiparticles.

Superconductivity, antiferromagnetism and phase separation in the two-dimensional Hubbard model: A dual-fermion approach

The dual-fermion approach offers a way to perform diagrammatic expansion around the dynamical mean-field theory. Using this formalism, the influence of antiferromagnetic fluctuations on the self-energy is taken into account through ladder-type diagrams in the particle-hole channel. The resulting phase diagram for the (quasi-)two-dimensional Hubbard model exhibits antiferromagnetism and d-wave superconductivity. Furthermore, a uniform charge instability, i.e., phase separation, is obtained in the low doping regime around the Mott insulator. We also examine spin/charge density wave fluctuations including d-wave symmetry. The model exhibits a tendency towards an unconventional charge density-wave, but no divergence of the susceptibility is found.

Scaling theory vs exact numerical results for spinless resonant level model

The continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method is applied to the interacting resonant level model (IRLM) using double expansion with respect to Coulomb interaction Ufc and hybridization V. Thermodynamics of the IRLM without spin is equivalent to the anisotropic Kondo model in the low-energy limit. Exact dynamics and thermodynamics of the IRLM are derived numerically for a wide range of Ufc with a given value of V. For negative Ufc, excellent agreement including a quantum critical point is found with a simple scaling formula that deals with V in the lowest-order, and Ufc up to infinite order. As Ufc becomes positive and large, lower order scaling results deviate from exact numerical results. Possible relevance of the results is discussed to certain Samarium compounds with unusual heavy-fermion behavior.

Dynamical mean-field theory for quantum spin systems: Test of solutions for magnetically ordered states

A spin version of dynamical mean-field theory is extended for magnetically ordered states in the Heisenberg model. The self-consistency equations are solved with high numerical accuracy by means of the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo with bosonic baths coupled to the spin. The resultant solution is critically tested by known physical properties. In contrast with the mean-field theory, soft paramagnons appear near the transition temperature. Moreover, the Nambu-Goldstone mode (magnon) in the ferromagnetic phase is reproduced reasonably well. However, antiferromagnetic magnons have an energy gap in contradiction to the Nambu-Goldstone theorem. The origin of this failure is discussed in connection with an artificial first-order nature of the transition.

Numerical solution of the t-J model with random exchange couplings in d=infinity dimensions

To explore the nature of the metallic state near the transition to a Mott insulator we investigate the t-J model with random exchange interaction in d=infinity dimensions. A numerically exact solution is obtained by an extension of the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo (CT-QMC) method to the case of a vector bosonic field coupled to a local spin. We show that the paramagnetic solution near the Mott insulator describes an incoherent metal with a residual moment, and that single-particle excitations produce an additional band, which is separated from the Mott-Hubbard band.

Charge order in Kondo lattice systems

Charge order is a commonly observed phenomenon in strongly correlated materials. However, most theories are based on a repulsive inter-site Coulomb interaction in order to explain charge order. We here show that only due to local interactions, charge order is favorable in heavy fermion systems at quarter filling. The driving force is the Kondo effect, which leads to a non-linear dependence on the filling of the lattice site for the energy gain. We use dynamical mean field theory combined with numerical renormalization group to demonstrate the existence of charge order at quarter filling for a Kondo lattice model.

Spin-boson coupling in continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo

A vector bosonic field coupled to the electronic spin is treated by means of the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method. In the Bose Kondo model with a sub-Ohmic density of states $ρ_{B}(ω) \propto ω^{s}$ with s=0.2, two contributions to the spin susceptibility, the Curie term T^{-1} and the term T^{-s} due to bosonic fluctuations, are observed separately. This result indicates the existence of a residual moment and a hidden critical behavior. By including hybridization with itinerant electrons, a quantum critical point is identified between this local-moment state and the Kondo singlet state. It is demonstrated that the energy scale of the bosonic fluctuations is not affected by the quantum phase transition.
