Bogoliubov coupled-cluster theory for su(2) Hamiltonians

Abstract

Coupled-cluster theory is the method of choice for weakly correlated systems, but in strongly correlated systems where the mean-field reference is qualitatively poor, it can break down badly. These failures can be ameliorated by using symmetry-broken mean-field references. For systems that spontaneously break spin symmetry, we might favor an unrestricted reference. In systems that instead break number symmetry, we turn to Bogoliubov coupled cluster theory. In this work, we apply Bogoliubov coupled-cluster to Hamiltonians with an underlying su(2) algebra to study the pairing Hamiltonian and the spin XXZ and J1-J2 models by exploiting the correspondence between fermionic-pair operators and spin-1/2 operators. For the pairing problem, the reference is the usual Bardeen--Cooper--Schrieffer (BCS) quasiparticle vacuum, while for spin systems we use the analogous spin-BCS reference, which breaks Sz symmetry and provides a flexible starting point for strongly correlated regimes. Correlation is incorporated through a hierarchy of coupled-cluster approximations. Beyond energies, we compute the response density matrices for the evaluation of spin--spin correlation functions for the XXZ and J1-J2 Heisenberg models, and the pairing parameter and particle-number variance for the pairing Hamiltonian. We also derive the corresponding relaxed density matrices, including the effects of orbital relaxation. Benchmark calculations for the half-filled pairing Hamiltonian and spin models demonstrate that Bogoliubov coupled cluster provides a systematically improvable wave-function-based approach for su(2) Hamiltonians, including geometrically frustrated spin systems requiring complex and noncollinear BCS references.
