The realization of antiferromagnetic (AF) correlations in ultracold fermionic atoms on an optical lattice is a significant achievement. Experiments have been carried out in one, two, and three dimensions, and have also studied anisotropic configurations with stronger tunneling in some lattice directions. Such anisotropy is relevant to the physics of cuprate superconductors and other strongly correlated materials. Moreover, this anisotropy might be harnessed to enhance AF order. Here we numerically investigate, using Determinant Quantum Monte Carlo, a simple realization of anisotropy in the 3D Hubbard model in which the tunneling between planes, $t_perp$, is unequal to the intraplane tunneling $t$. This model interpolates between the three-dimensional isotropic ($t_perp = t$) and two-dimensional ($t_perp =0$) systems. We show that at fixed interaction strength to tunneling ratio ($U/t$), anisotropy can enhance the magnetic structure factor relative to both 2D and 3D results. However, this enhancement occurs at interaction strengths below those for which the Neel temperature $T_{rm Nacute{e}el}$ is largest, in such a way that the structure factor cannot be made to exceed its value in isotropic 3D systems at the optimal $U/t$. We characterize the 2D-3D crossover in terms of the magnetic structure factor, real space spin correlations, number of doubly-occupied sites, and thermodynamic observables. An interesting implication of our results stems from the entropys dependence on anisotropy. As the system evolves from 3D to 2D, the entropy at a fixed temperature increases. Correspondingly, at fixed entropy, the temperature will decrease going from 3D to 2D. This suggests a cooling protocol in which the dimensionality is adiabatically changed from 3D to 2D.

We study the 3D Hubbard model with anisotropic nearest neighbor tunneling amplitudes using the dynamical cluster approximation and compare the results with a quantum simulation experiment using ultracold fermions in an optical lattice, focussing on m agnetic correlations. We find that the short-range spin correlations are significantly enhanced in the direction with stronger tunneling amplitudes. Our results agree with the experimental observations and show that the experimental temperature is lower than the strong tunneling amplitude. We characterize the system by examining the spin correlations beyond neighboring sites and determine the distribution of density, entropy and spin correlation in the trapped system. We furthermore investigate the dependence of the critical entropy at the Neel transition on anisotropy.
We study thermodynamics of the 3D Hubbard model at half filling on approach to the Neel transition by means of large-scale unbiased Diagrammatic Determinant Monte Carlo simulations. We obtain the transition temperature in the strongly correlated regi me, as well as temperature dependence of energy, entropy, double occupancy, and the nearest-neighbor spin correlation function. Our results improve the accuracy of previous unbiased studies and present accurate benchmarks in the ongoing effort to realize the antiferromagnetic state of matter with ultracold atoms in optical lattices.
The SU(2) symmetric Fermi-Hubbard model (FHM) plays an essential role in strongly correlated fermionic many-body systems. In the one particle per site and strongly interacting limit ${U/t gg 1}$, it is effectively described by the Heisenberg Hamilton ian. In this limit, enlarging the spin and extending the typical SU(2) symmetry to SU($N$) has been predicted to give exotic phases of matter in the ground state, with a complicated dependence on $N$. This raises the question of what --- if any --- are the finite-temperature signatures of these phases, especially in the currently experimentally relevant regime near or above the superexchange energy. We explore this question for thermodynamic observables by numerically calculating the thermodynamics of the SU($N$) FHM in the two-dimensional square lattice near densities of one particle per site, using determinant Quantum Monte Carlo and Numerical Linked Cluster Expansion. Interestingly, we find that for temperatures above the superexchange energy, where the correlation length is short, the energy, number of on-site pairs, and kinetic energy are universal functions of $N$. Although the physics in the regime studied is well beyond what can be captured by low-order high-temperature series, we show that an analytic description of the scaling is possible in terms of only one- and two-site calculations.
Strong electron correlations lie at the origin of transformative phenomena such as colossal magneto-resistance and high-temperature superconductivity. Already near room temperature, doped copper oxide materials display remarkable features such as a p seudo-gap and a strange metal phase with unusual transport properties. The essence of this physics is believed to be captured by the Fermi-Hubbard model of repulsively interacting, itinerant fermions on a lattice. Here we report on the site-resolved observation of charge and spin correlations in the two-dimensional (2D) Fermi-Hubbard model realized with ultracold atoms. Antiferromagnetic spin correlations are maximal at half-filling and weaken monotonically upon doping. Correlations between singly charged sites are negative at large doping, revealing the Pauli and correlation holetextemdash a suppressed probability of finding two fermions near each other. However, as the doping is reduced below a critical value, correlations between such local magnetic moments become positive, signaling strong bunching of doublons and holes. Excellent agreement with numerical linked-cluster expansion (NLCE) and determinantal quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) calculations is found. Positive non-local moment correlations directly imply potential energy fluctuations due to doublon-hole pairs, which should play an important role for transport in the Fermi-Hubbard model.
We use quantum kinetic theory to calculate the thermoelectric transport properties of the 2D single band Fermi-Hubbard model in the weak coupling limit. For generic filling, we find that the high-temperature limiting behaviors of the electrical ($sim T$) and thermal ($sim T^2$) resistivities persist down to temperatures of order the hopping matrix element $Tsim t$, almost an order of magnitude below the bandwidth. At half filling, perfect nesting leads to anomalous low temperature scattering and nearly $T$-linear electrical resistivity at all temperatures. We hypothesize that the $T$-linear resistivity observed in recent cold atom experiments is continuously connected to this weak coupling physics and suggest avenues for experimental verification. We find a number of other novel thermoelectric results, such as a low-temperature Wiedemann-Franz law with Lorenz coefficient $5pi^2/36$.
