“…By considering a highly spin imbalance limit, we can study the impurity effect in half-filled Hubbard models, such as the magnetic polaron [28,29]. The mass imbalance or multi-band effect may give rise to few-body correlations beyond the dominated two-body correlations [30], which may lead to an even richer phase diagram [31,32]. Another interesting issue is the Fermi polaron problem with strongly interacting two-component backgrounds [33], which may be relevant to the exciton-electron mixtures in transition metal dichalcogenides materials [34].…”

The study of ground-state properties of the Fermi-Hubbard model is a long-lasting task in the research of strongly correlated systems, and is crucial for the understanding of notable quantum phenomena including superconductivity and magnetism. Owing to the exponentially growing complexity of the system, a quantitative analysis usually demands high computational cost and is restricted to small samples, especially in two or higher dimensions. Here, we introduce a variational method in the frame of fermionic Gaussian states, and obtain the ground states of one- and two-dimensional attractive Hubbard models via imaginary-time evolution. We calculate the total energy and benchmark the results in a wide range of interaction strength and ﬁlling factor with those obtained via exact two-body results, the density matrix renormalization group based on matrix product states (MPS), and projector Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method. For both 1D and 2D cases, the Gaussian variational method presents accurate results for total energy with a maximum systematic error ∼ 4% in the intermediate interaction region. The accuracy of these results has negligible dependence on the system size. We further calculate the double occupancy and ﬁnd excellent agreement with MPS and QMC, as well as the experimental results of cold quantum gases in optical lattices. The results suggest that the Gaussian pairing state is a good approximation to the ground states of attractive Hubbard model, in particular in the strong and weak coupling limits. Moreover, we generalize the method to the attractive Hubbard model with a ﬁnite spin-polarization, which can be mapped to the repulsive interaction case via particle-hole transformation, and obtain accurate results of ground state energy and double occupancy. Our work demonstrates the ability of the Gaussian variational method to extract ground state properties of strongly correlated many-body systems with negligible computational cost, especially of large size and in higher dimensions.

“…The interplay of local interactions and the massimbalance in different lattice geometries, which lead to new physics, have been examined in ultracold experiments [38] and through diverse theoretical approaches [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Recently, a new ingredient was added to this competition: the band energy offset, i.e.…”

We investigated the ionic Hubbard model with mass imbalance in one dimension, using the density matrix renormalization group method. This model exhibits a band insulator phase and an antiferromagnetic one, both with a finite spin gap. We found that this quantum phase transition is continuous, unalike the previous mean-field theory result. The von Neumann block entropy is maximum at the critical points, a fact that we used to build the phase diagram.
