Finite and Infinite Matrix Product States \\for Gutzwiller Projected Mean-Field Wavefunctions
ORAL
Abstract
Matrix product states (MPS) and `dressed' ground states of quadratic mean fields (e.g. Gutzwiller projected Slater Determinants) are both important classes of variational wave-functions. This latter class has played important roles in understanding superconductivity and quantum spin-liquids. We present a novel method to obtain both the finite and infinite MPS (iMPS) representation of the ground state of an arbitrary fermionic quadratic mean-field Hamiltonian, (which in the simplest case is a Slater determinant and in the most general case is a Pfaffian). We also show how to represent products of such states (e.g. determinants times Pfaffians). From this representation one can project to single occupancy and evaluate the entanglement spectra after Gutzwiller projection. Additionaly, we develop an approach to orthogonalize degenerate iMPS to find all the states in the degenerate ground-state manifold.
