The quadratic density response function for non-interacting fermions at arbitrary temperature

Pontus Svensson, Jan Vorberger, Zhandos A. Moldabekov +5

We develop and implement the quadratic density response function of non-interacting fermions at arbitrary temperature, frequencies, and wave vectors. Starting from a Green's functi…

Reconciling chemical models of X-ray Thomson Scattering with the Bethe -sum rule

Maximilian P. Böhme, Paul Hamann, Veronika A. Kruse +9

X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) is a key diagnostic for high-energy-density plasmas, which can exhibit significant quantum effects even at elevated temperatures. XRTS experiments a…

Reweighting Estimators for Density Response in Path Integral Monte Carlo: Applications to linear, nonlinear and cross-species density response

Pontus Svensson, Thomas Chuna, Jan Vorberger +5

We present density response estimators for Monte Carlo simulations that are based on a reweighting procedure, where the samples of an unperturbed system are used to estimate the pr…

Dielectric formalism of the 2D uniform electron gas at finite temperatures

Fotios Kalkavouras, Tobias Dornheim, Paul Hamann +1

We present a comprehensive analysis of the two-dimensional uniform electron gas (2D-UEG or more commonly 2DEG) at finite temperature, spanning a broad range of densities / coupling…

The noiseless limit and improved-prior limit of the maximum entropy method and their implications for the analytic continuation problem

Thomas Chuna, Nicholas Barnfield, Paul Hamann +3

Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are uniquely capable of providing exact simulations of quantum many-body systems. Unfortunately, the applications of a QMC simulation are limited…
