We report a systematic study of the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method on two different geometries: the sphere and the cylinder. We provide convergence benchmarks based on model Hamiltonians known to possess exact zero-energy ground states, as well as an analysis of the number of sweeps and basis elements that need to be kept in order to achieve the desired accuracy.The ground state energies of the Coulomb Hamiltonian at $ u=1/3$ and $ u=5/2$ filling are extracted and compared with the results obtained by previous DMRG implementations in the literature. A remarkably rapid convergence in the cylinder geometry is noted and suggests that this boundary condition is particularly suited for the application of the DMRG method to the FQHE.

We introduce a versatile and practical framework for applying matrix product state techniques to continuous quantum systems. We divide space into multiple segments and generate continuous basis functions for the many-body state in each segment. By combining this mapping with existing numerical Density-Matrix Renormalization Group routines, we show how one can accurately obtain the ground-state wave function, spatial correlations, and spatial entanglement entropy directly in the continuum. For a prototypical mesoscopic system of strongly-interacting bosons we demonstrate faster convergence than standard grid-based discretization. We illustrate the power of our approach by studying a superfluid-insulator transition in an external potential. We outline how one can directly apply or generalize this technique to a wide variety of experimentally relevant problems across condensed matter physics and quantum field theory.
We propose a general mechanism for renormalization of the tunneling exponents in edge states of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Mutual effects of the coupling with out-of-equilibrium 1/f noise and dissipation are considered both for the Laughlin sequence and for composite co- and counter-propagating edge states with Abelian or non-Abelian statistics. For states with counter-propagating modes we demonstrate the robustness of the proposed mechanism in the so called disorder-dominated phase. Prototypes of these states, such as u=2/3 and u=5/2, are discussed in detail and the rich phenomenology induced by the presence of a noisy environment is presented. The proposed mechanism justifies the strong renormalizations reported in many experimental observations carried out at low temperatures. We show how environmental effects could affect the relevance of the tunneling excitations, leading to important implications in particular for the u=5/2 case.
We improve the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) evaluation of the Kubo formula for the zero-temperature linear conductance of one-dimensional correlated systems.The dynamical DMRG is used to compute the linear response of a finite system to an applied AC source-drain voltage, then the low-frequency finite-system response is extrapolated to the thermodynamic limit to obtain the DC conductance of an infinite system. The method is demonstrated on the one-dimensional spinless fermion model at half filling. Our method is able to replicate several predictions of the Luttinger liquid theory such as the renormalization of the conductance in an homogeneous conductor, the universal effects of a single barrier, and the resonant tunneling through a double barrier.
A quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetically polarized one-dimensional leads is studied numerically using the density matrix renormalization group method. Several real space properties and the local density of states at the dot are computed. It is shown that this local density of states is suppressed by the parallel polarization of the leads. In this case we are able to estimate the length of the Kondo cloud, and to relate its behavior to that suppression. Another important result of our study is that the tunnel magnetoresistance as a function of the quantum dot on-site energy is minimum and negative at the symmetric point.
In a previous paper [J.-M. Bischoff and E. Jeckelmann, Phys. Rev. B 96, 195111 (2017)] we introduced a density-matrix renormalization group method for calculating the linear conductance of one-dimensional correlated quantum systems and demonstrated it on homogeneous spinless fermion chains with impurities. Here we present extensions of this method to inhomogeneous systems, models with phonons, and the spin conductance of electronic models. The method is applied to a spinless fermion wire-lead model, the homogeneous spinless Holstein model, and the Hubbard model. Its capabilities are demonstrated by comparison with the predictions of Luttinger liquid theory combined with Bethe Ansatz solutions and other numerical methods. We find a complex behavior for quantum wires coupled to interacting leads when the sign of the interaction (repulsive/attractive) differs in wire and leads. The renormalization of the conductance given by the Luttinger parameter in purely fermionic systems is shown to remain valid in the Luttinger liquid phase of the Holstein model with phononic degrees of freedom.
