We establish a way to handle main collective fluctuations in correlated quantum systems based on a Fluctuation Local Field concept. This technique goes beyond standard mean-field approaches, such as Hartree-Fock and dynamical mean-field theories (DMFT), as it includes a fluctuating classical field that acts on the leading order parameter of the system. Effective model parameters of this new theory are determined from the variational principle, which allows to resolve the Fierz ambiguity in decoupling of the local interaction term. In the saddle-point approximation for the fluctuating field our method reproduces the mean-field result. The exact numerical integration over this field allows to consider nonlinear fluctuations of the global order parameter of the system while local correlations can be accounted by solving the DMFT impurity problem. We apply our method to the magnetic susceptibility of finite Hubbard systems at half-filling and demonstrate that the introduced technique leads to a superior improvement of results with respect to parental mean-field approaches without significant numerical complications. We show that the Fluctuation Local Field method can be used in a very broad range of temperatures substantially below the Neel temperature of DMFT, which remains a major challenge for all existing theoretical approaches.

The impact of leading collective electronic fluctuations on a free energy of a prototype 1D model for molecular systems is considered within the recently developed Fluctuating Local Field (FLF) approach. The FLF method is a non-perturbative extension
of a mean-field theory, where a self-consistent effective constant field is replaced by a fluctuating one. Integrating the fluctuating field out numerically exactly allows to account for collective electronic fluctuations mediated by this field without any assumptions on their magnitude, degree of nonlinearity, etc. Using a half-filled Hubbard ring as a benchmark system, we find that the FLF method noticeably improves a mean-field estimation for the free energy, in particular below the mean-field Neel temperature. We further demonstrate that the mean-field result can be even more improved introducing a multi-mode FLF scheme that additionally takes into account sub-leading fluctuations. Possible applications for the thermodynamics of real molecules are also discussed.
When the transition temperature of a continuous phase transition is tuned to absolute zero, new ordered phases and physical behaviour emerge in the vicinity of the resulting quantum critical point. Sr3Ru2O7 can be tuned through quantum criticality wi
th magnetic field at low temperature. Near its critical field Bc it displays the hallmark T-linear resistivity and a T log(1/T) electronic heat capacity behaviour of strange metals. However, these behaviours have not been related to any critical fluctuations. Here we use inelastic neutron scattering to reveal the presence of collective spin fluctuations whose relaxation time and strength show a nearly singular variation with magnetic field as Bc is approached. The large increase in the electronic heat capacity and entropy near Bc can be understood quantitatively in terms of the scattering of conduction electrons by these spin-fluctuations. On entering the spin density wave (SDW) phase present near Bc, the fluctuations become stronger suggesting that the SDW order is stabilised through an order-by-disorder mechanism.
To explore correlated electrons in the presence of local and non-local disorder, the Blackman-Esterling-Berk method for averaging over off-diagonal disorder is implemented into dynamical mean-field theory using tensor notation. The impurity model com
bining disorder and correlations is solved using the recently developed fork tensor-product state solver, which allows one to calculate the single particle spectral functions on the real-frequency axis. In the absence of off-diagonal hopping, we establish exact bounds of the spectral function of the non-interacting Bethe lattice with coordination number $Z$. In the presence of interaction, the Mott insulating paramagnetic phase of the one-band Hubbard model is computed at zero temperature in alloys with site- and off-diagonal disorder. When the Hubbard $U$ parameter is increased, transitions from an alloy band-insulator through a correlated metal into a Mott insulating phase are found to take place.
We present the continued fraction method (CFM) as a new microscopic approximation to the spectral density of the Hubbard model in the correlated metal phase away from half filling. The quantity expanded as a continued fraction is the single particle
Green function. Leading spectral moments are taken into account through a set of real expansion coefficients, as known from the projection technique. The new aspect is to add further stages to the continued fraction, with complex coefficients, thus defining a terminator function. This enables us to treat the entire spectral range of the Green function on equal footing and determine the energy scale of the Fermi liquid quasiparticles by minimizing the total energy. The solution is free of phenomenological parameters and remains well defined in the strong coupling limit, near the doping controlled metal-insulator transition. Our results for the density of states agree reasonably with several variants of the dynamical mean field theory. The CFM requires minimal numerical effort and can be generalized in several ways that are interesting for applications to real materials.
Conclusive evidence of order by disorder is scarce in real materials. Perhaps one of the strongest cases presented has been for the pyrochlore XY antiferromagnet Er2Ti2O7, with the ground state selection proceeding by order by disorder induced throug
h the effects of quantum fluctuations. This identification assumes the smallness of the effect of virtual crystal field fluctuations that could provide an alternative route to picking the ground state. Here we show that this order by virtual crystal field fluctuations is not only significant, but competitive with the effects of quantum fluctuations. Further, we argue that higher-multipolar interactions that are generically present in rare-earth magnets can dramatically enhance this effect. From a simplified bilinear-biquadratic model of these multipolar interactions, we show how the virtual crystal field fluctuations manifest in Er2Ti2O7 using a combination of strong coupling perturbation theory and the random phase approximation. We find that the experimentally observed psi2 state is indeed selected and the experimentally measured excitation gap can be reproduced when the bilinear and biquadratic couplings are comparable while maintaining agreement with the entire experimental spin-wave excitation spectrum. Finally, we comments on possible tests of this scenario and discuss implications for other order-by-disorder candidates in rare-earth magnets.
