Accurate Simulation of the Hubbard Model with Finite Fermionic Projected Entangled Pair States
Abstract
We demonstrate the use of finite-size fermionic projected entangled pair states, in conjunction with variational Monte Carlo, to perform accurate simulations of the ground state of the 2D Hubbard model. Using bond dimensions of up to 𝐷=28, we show that we can surpass state-of-the-art density matrix renormalization group energies that use up to 𝑚=32 000 SU(2) multiplets on eight-leg ladders. We further apply our methodology to 10 ×16, 12 ×16, and 16 ×16 lattices at 1/8 hole doping and observe the dimensional crossover between stripe orientations. Our Letter shows the power of finite-size fermionic tensor networks to resolve the physics of the 2D Hubbard model and related problems.
