Matrix product states approach to the Heisenberg ferrimagnetic spin chains

Abstract

We propose a new version of the matrix product (MP) states approach to the description of quantum spin chains, which allows one to construct MP states with certain total spin and its z-projection. We show that previously known MP wavefunctions for integer-spin antiferromagnetic chains and ladders correspond to some particular cases of our general ansatz. Our method allows to describe systems with spontaneously broken rotational symmetry, like quantum ferrimagnetic chains whose ground state has nonzero total spin. We apply this approach to describe the ground state properties of the isotropic ferrimagnetic Heisenberg chain with alternating spins 1 and 1/2 and compare our variational results with the high-precision numerical data obtained by means of the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method. For both the ground state energy and the correlation functions we obtain very good agreement between the variational results and the QMC data.
