Building on previous developments, we show that the Diagrammatic Monte Carlo technique allows to compute finite temperature response functions directly on the real-frequency axis within any field-theoretical formulation of the interacting fermion problem. There are no limitations on the type and nature of the systems action or whether partial summation and self-consistent treatment of certain diagram classes are used. In particular, by eliminating the need for numerical analytic continuation from a Matsubara representation, our scheme allows to study spectral densities of arbitrary complexity with controlled accuracy in models with frequency-dependent effective interactions. For illustrative purposes we consider the problem of the plasmon line-width in a homogeneous electron gas (jellium).

Diagrammatic expansions are a central tool for treating correlated electron systems. At thermal equilibrium, they are most naturally defined within the Matsubara formalism. However, extracting any dynamic response function from a Matsubara calculation ultimately requires the ill-defined analytical continuation from the imaginary- to the real-frequency domain. It was recently proposed [Phys. Rev. B 99, 035120 (2019)] that the internal Matsubara summations of any interaction-expansion diagram can be performed analytically by using symbolic algebra algorithms. The result of the summations is then an analytical function of the complex frequency rather than Matsubara frequency. Here we apply this principle and develop a diagrammatic Monte Carlo technique which yields results directly on the real-frequency axis. We present results for the self-energy $Sigma(omega)$ of the doped 32x32 cyclic square-lattice Hubbard model in a non-trivial parameter regime, where signatures of the pseudogap appear close to the antinode. We discuss the behavior of the perturbation series on the real-frequency axis and in particular show that one must be very careful when using the maximum entropy method on truncated perturbation series. Our approach holds great promise for future application in cases when analytical continuation is difficult and moderate-order perturbation theory may be sufficient to converge the result.
We extend the natural orbital impurity solver [PRB 90, 085102 (2014)] to finite temperatures within the dynamical mean field theory and apply it to calculate transport properties of correlated electrons. First, we benchmark our method against the exact diagonalization result for small clusters, finding that the natural orbital scheme works well not only for zero temperature but for low finite temperatures. The method yields smooth and sufficiently accurate spectra, which agree well with the results of the numerical renormalization group. Using the smooth spectra, we calculate the electric conductivity and Seebeck coefficient for the two-dimensional Hubbard model at low temperatures which are in the scope of many experiments and practical applications. These results demonstrate the usefulness of the natural orbital framework for obtaining the real frequency information within the dynamical mean field theory.
We examine the accuracy of the microcanonical Lanczos method (MCLM) developed by Long, {it et al.} [Phys. Rev. B {bf 68}, 235106 (2003)] to compute dynamical spectral functions of interacting quantum models at finite temperatures. The MCLM is based on the microcanonical ensemble, which becomes exact in the thermodynamic limit. To apply the microcanonical ensemble at a fixed temperature, one has to find energy eigenstates with the energy eigenvalue corresponding to the internal energy in the canonical ensemble. Here, we propose to use thermal pure quantum state methods by Sugiura and Shimizu [Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 111}, 010401 (2013)] to obtain the internal energy. After obtaining the energy eigenstates using the Lanczos diagonalization method, dynamical quantities are computed via a continued fraction expansion, a standard procedure for Lanczos-based numerical methods. Using one-dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains with $S=1/2$, we demonstrate that the proposed procedure is reasonably accurate even for relatively small systems.
The cost of the exact solution of the many-electron problem is believed to be exponential in the number of degrees of freedom, necessitating approximations that are controlled and accurate but numerically tractable. In this paper, we show that one of these approximations, the self-energy embedding theory (SEET), is derivable from a universal functional and therefore implicitly satisfies conservation laws and thermodynamic consistency. We also show how other approximations, such as the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and its combinations with many-body perturbation theory, can be understood as a special case of SEET and discuss how the additional freedom present in SEET can be used to obtain systematic convergence of results.
As new kinds of stabilizer code models, fracton models have been promising in realizing quantum memory or quantum hard drives. However, it has been shown that the fracton topological order of 3D fracton models occurs only at zero temperature. In this Letter, we show that higher dimensional fracton models can support a fracton topological order below a nonzero critical temperature $T_c$. Focusing on a typical 4D X-cube model, we show that there is a finite critical temperature $T_c$ by analyzing its free energy from duality. We also obtained the expectation value of the t Hooft loops in the 4D X-cube model, which directly shows a confinement-deconfinement phase transition at finite temperature. This finite-temperature phase transition can be understood as spontaneously breaking the $mathbb{Z}_2$ one-form subsystem symmetry. Moreover, we propose a new no-go theorem for finite-temperature quantum fracton topological order.
