广义Kitaev模型的量子蒙特卡罗模拟

Quantum Monte Carlo Simulation of Generalized Kitaev Models

Toshihiro Sato, Fakher F. Assaad

摘要:

受抑自旋系统一般遭受的负号问题固有的蒙特卡罗方法。由于这个问题的严重性是配方依赖的,因此可以提出优化策略。在辅助场量子蒙特卡罗算法中引入了相位钉扎方法。如果我们能找到一个与耦合到辅助场的单体哈密顿量交换的反么正算符,那么作用量的相位就固定在$0$和$π$上。对于广义Kitaev模型,我们可以成功地应用这种策略,并观察到平均符号的显着改善。我们用这种方法研究了Kitaev-Heisenberg模型在交换耦合常数的一半温度下的热力学和动力学性质。我们的动力学数据揭示了该模型固有的有序和自旋液相的有限温度特性。

英文摘要:

Frustrated spin systems generically suffer from the negative sign problem inherent to Monte Carlo methods. Since the severity of this problem is formulation dependent, optimization strategies can be put forward. We introduce a phase pinning approach in the realm of the auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo algorithm. If we can find an anti-unitary operator that commutes with the one body Hamiltonian coupled to the auxiliary field, then the phase of the action is pinned to $0$ and $π$. For generalized Kitaev models, we can successfully apply this strategy and observe a remarkable improvement of the average sign. We use this method to study thermodynamical and dynamical properties of the Kitaev-Heisenberg model down to temperatures corresponding to half of the exchange coupling constant. Our dynamical data reveals finite temperature properties of ordered and spin-liquid phases inherent to this model.
