Worm Improved Estimators in Continuous-time Quantum Monte Carlo
arXiv:1607.01211 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.94.125153
Abstract
We derive the improved estimators for general interactions and employ these for the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method. Using a worm algorithm we show how measuring higher-ordered correlators leads to an improved high-frequency behavior in irreducible quantities such as the one-particle self-energy or the irreducible two-particle vertex for non-density-density interactions. A good knowledge of the asymptotics of the two-particle vertex is essential for calculating non-local electronic correlations using diagrammatic extensions to the dynamical mean field theory as well as for calculating susceptibilities. We test our algorithm against analytic results for the multi-orbital atomic-limit and the Falicov-Kimball model.
