Identification of non-Fermi liquid fermionic self-energy from quantum Monte Carlo data

Abstract
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations of correlated electron systems provide unbiased information about system behavior at a quantum critical point (QCP) and can verify or disprove the existing theories of non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior at a QCP. However, simulations are carried out at a finite temperature, where quantum-critical features are masked by finite temperature effects. Here we present a theoretical framework within which it is possible to separate thermal and quantum effects and extract the information about NFL physics at . We demonstrate our method for a specific example of 2D fermions near a Ising-ferromagnetic QCP. We show that one can extract from QMC data the zero-temperature form of fermionic self-energy even though the leading contribution to the self-energy comes from thermal effects. We find that the frequency dependence of agrees well with the analytic form obtained within the Eliashberg theory of dynamical quantum criticality, and obeys scaling at low frequencies. Our results open up an avenue for QMC studies of quantum-critical metals.
