Modeling
U

(Zhang and Rice, PRB 1988,
P.W. Anderson)
●
Models: Ising model, Heisenberg model, Hubbard model, etc.
●
2-D Hubbard model (quantum system model)
Simplest model able to capture the low energy physics of cuprates
5
Solve the model
●
We need to solve the Schrodinger equation
for quantum system
Equation of motion
●
Note that the hamiltonian is time-independent, we can
separate the two variables as
●
Then we just need to solve a simpler equation
6
Solve the model
●
How to solve this equation
operator??
scalar
vector
●
It can be represented as a matrix if a basis is chosen
●
Four possible configurations per-site
(occupation number representation)
U
●
t
Number of configurations: 4^Nc
7
Solve the model
●
Eigen-value and-vector problem
matrix
scalar
vector
–
Wave-function based
–
H: linear dimension: 4^Nc
–
Nc: number of sites (atoms), 10^23 for real materials
–
This puts a severe constraint on the solving of this equation
both in computational time and in memory
e.g. Nc=16, memory requirement for
wave function vector:16GB; Hamiltonian matrix: 7x1010GB !
We need a smarter way of solving this model

Once the Green function is calculated,
the solution of equation
is
This can be checked by applying L on both sides and
using the definition of G
