Qubit parametrization of the variational discrete action theory for the multiorbital Hubbard model

Zhengqian Cheng, Chris A. Marianetti

The variational discrete action theory (VDAT) at \mathcal{N}=3 is a potent tool for accurately capturing Mott and Hund physics at zero temperature in d=\infty at a cost comparable…

Mott transition from the non-analyticity of the one-body reduced density-matrix functional

Zhengqian Cheng, Chris A. Marianetti

One-body reduced density-matrix functional (1RDMF) theory has yielded promising results for small systems such as molecules, but has not addressed quantum phase transitions such as…

Matching Wilson flow time for calculating the topological charge density and the pseudoscalar glueball mass in quenched lattice QCD

Zhen Cheng, Guang-yi Xiong

The matching Wilson flow time for calculating the topological charge density correlator (TCDC) of the gluonic definition by the Wilson flow is analyzed using the matching procedure…
