Reorthonormalization of Chebyshev matrix product states for dynamical correlation functions

Abstract

The Chebyshev expansion offers a numerically efficient and easy-implement algorithm for evaluating dynamic correlation functions using matrix product states (MPS). In this approach, each recursively generated Chebyshev vector is approximately represented by an MPS. However, the recurrence relations of Chebyshev polynomials are broken by the approximation, leading to an error which is accumulated with the increase of the order of expansion. Here we propose a reorthonormalization approach to remove this error introduced in the loss of orthogonality of the Chebyshev polynomials. Our approach, as illustrated by comparison with the exact results for the one-dimensional XY and Heisenberg models, improves significantly the accuracy in the calculation of dynamical correlation functions. * navyphysics@iphy.ac.cn † txiang@iphy.ac.cn

Time-evolution methods for matrix-product states

“…While one should of course not lose sight of new alternative methods to evaluate excitation spectra [105][106][107][108][109] or Green's functions [19], the direct evaluation of real-time observables will always find interesting applications. For the future, at least three distinct approaches for new developments of real-time evolution methods should be considered:…”

Efficient tensor network representation for Gutzwiller projected states of paired fermions

“…Usually, for a given Gutzwiller projected wave function, such a spectral function is difficult to calculate by the VMC method although static spin correlation functions can be done. By contrast, there exist a slice of MPS-based accurate approaches to calculate spectral functions, such as correction-vector method [46][47][48][49] , timedependent DMRG [50][51][52][53][54] , and Chebyshev MPS 20,55 . In this paper, we utilize the Chebyshev MPS method 20 , of which the framework is to expand the δ function in Eq.…”

Phase-coherent caloritronics with ordinary and topological Josephson junctions

“…In addition to the growing interest in topological materials, there has been an interest in systems that allow for the simulation of topologically nontrivial band structures with trivial materials. A particular emphasis has been devoted to multi-terminal Josephson junctions [91][92][93][94][95]. Here, the superconducting phase differences form the analogon of crystal momenta while the Andreev bound state energies correspond to the energy bands in a crystal.…”

“…Here, the superconducting phase differences form the analogon of crystal momenta while the Andreev bound state energies correspond to the energy bands in a crystal. For a junction with at least four terminals, three independent superconducting phase differences form a sufficiently large number of degrees of freedom to mimic the behavior of Weyl points in the Andreev spectrum [91,92,95]. Similary, in three-terminal junctions, the two superconducting phases together with a magnetic flux through the junction can be used to realize nontrivial Andreev bound state spectra of interest [93,94].…”
