- Title: Variational wavefunctions for Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models
- Authors: Arijit Haldar, Omid Tavakol, Thomas Scaffidi
- Abstract summary: Given a class of $q$-local Hamiltonians, is it possible to find a simple variational state whose energy is a finite fraction of the ground state energy in the thermodynamic limit?
We show that Gaussian states fail dramatically in the fermionic case, like for the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) models.
This prompts us to propose a new class of wavefunctions for SYK models inspired by the variational coupled cluster algorithm.

- Abstract: Given a class of $q$-local Hamiltonians, is it possible to find a simple
variational state whose energy is a finite fraction of the ground state energy
in the thermodynamic limit? Whereas product states often provide an affirmative
answer in the case of bosonic (or qubit) models, we show that Gaussian states
fail dramatically in the fermionic case, like for the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK)
models. This prompts us to propose a new class of wavefunctions for SYK models
inspired by the variational coupled cluster algorithm. We introduce a static
("0+0D") large-$N$ field theory to study the energy, two-point correlators, and
entanglement properties of these states. Most importantly, we demonstrate a
finite disorder-averaged approximation ratio of $r \approx 0.62$ between the
variational and ground state energy of SYK for $q=4$. Moreover, the variational
states provide an exact description of spontaneous symmetry breaking in a
related two-flavor SYK model.

We study a sparse version of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model defined on random hypergraphs constructed either by a random pruning procedure or by randomly sampling regular hypergraphs.
We argue that this sparse SYK model recovers the interesting global physics of ordinary SYK even when $k$ is of order unity.
Our argument proceeds by constructing a path integral for the sparse model which reproduces the conventional SYK path integral plus gapped fluctuations.
