This study introduces a global search algorithm combined with quantics tensor train (QTT) to efficiently simulate strongly correlated electron systems, overcoming limitations of traditional tensor cross interpolation (TCI). The new method enhances numerical integration for Feynman diagrams in multiorbital systems.
Area of Science:
- Computational Physics
- Quantum Many-Body Theory
- Materials Science
Background:
- Feynman diagrams are crucial for simulating strongly correlated electron systems.
- Stochastic quantum Monte Carlo methods face the sign problem, especially for multiorbital models.
- Tensor cross interpolation (TCI) and quantics tensor train (QTT) offer efficient numerical treatments for Feynman diagrams.
Purpose of the Study:
- To address the challenge of identifying low-rank structures in Feynman diagrams for multiorbital electron-phonon systems.
- To overcome the ergodicity problem in traditional TCI algorithms for multiorbital spaces.
- To develop a more efficient numerical integration method for complex quantum systems.
Main Methods:
- Incorporation of a global search algorithm to resolve TCI ergodicity issues.
- Combination of the global search algorithm with the quantics tensor train (QTT) representation.
- Application to weak-coupling Feynman diagrams in multiorbital electron-phonon systems.
Main Results:
- Successfully identified low-rank structures in Feynman diagrams.
- Achieved efficient numerical integration with exponential time resolution.
- Demonstrated faster-than-power-law error convergence relative to computational cost.
- Eliminated the need for discontinuous region division required in non-QTT TCI.
Conclusions:
