Correlation density matrix: an unbiased analysis of exact diagonalizations

Abstract

Given the ground state wavefunction for an interacting lattice model, we define a "correlation density matrix"(CDM) for two disjoint, separated clusters $A$ and $B$, to be the density matrix of their union, minus the direct product of their respective density matrices. The CDM can be decomposed systematically by a numerical singular value decomposition, to provide a systematic and unbiased way to identify the operator(s) dominating the correlations, even unexpected ones.
