Stable Determinant Monte Carlo Simulations at Large Inverse Temperature $\beta$

At low temperatures $T$ where $1/T=\beta\gg1$ the na\"ive implementation of determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) methods suffers from loss of precision and numerical instabilities when evaluating the fermion determinant. This instability propagates into the calculation of observables that rely on the evaluation of the inverse of the fermion matrix, or the Greens function. For DQMC methods that rely on the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm, an additional complication comes from evaluating the force terms required for integrating Hamilton's equations of motion, since here loss of precision and numerical instabilities are also prevalent. We show how to address all these issues using various choices of matrix decompositions, allowing us to simulate at $\beta\gtrsim 90$, which corresponds to room temperature for graphene structures. Furthermore, our implementation has numerical costs that scale similarly to the na\"ive implementation, namely as $\mathcal{O}(N_x^3N_t)$, where $N_x$ ($N_t$) is the number of spatial (temporal) sites.

Search for Stable States in Two-Body Excitations of the Hubbard Model on the Honeycomb Lattice

We present one- and two-body measurements for the Hubbard model on the honeycomb (graphene) lattice from ab-initio quantum monte carlo simulations. Of particular interest is excitons, which are particle/hole excitations in low-dimensional systems. They are analogous to the pion in QCD, but without confinement, the question of whether they are bound and stable is of great interest in the condensed matter arena. By measuring one- and two-body correlators across various spin and isospin channels we can compute two-body energies relative to their thresholds, ultimately allowing us to check for stable states.
