• Title: Quantum impurity models using superpositions of fermionic Gaussian states: Practical methods and applications
• Authors: Samuel Boutin and Bela Bauer
• Abstract summary: We present a practical approach for performing a variational calculation based on non-orthogonal fermionic Gaussian states. Our method is based on approximate imaginary-time equations of motion that decouple the dynamics of each state forming the ansatz. We also study the screening cloud of the two-channel Kondo model, a problem difficult to tackle using existing numerical tools.

• Abstract: The coherent superposition of non-orthogonal fermionic Gaussian states has been shown to be an efficient approximation to the ground states of quantum impurity problems [Bravyi and Gosset,Comm. Math. Phys.,356 451 (2017)]. We present a practical approach for performing a variational calculation based on such states. Our method is based on approximate imaginary-time equations of motion that decouple the dynamics of each Gaussian state forming the ansatz. It is independent of the lattice connectivity of the model and the implementation is highly parallelizable. To benchmark our variational method, we calculate the spin-spin correlation function and R\'enyi entanglement entropy of an Anderson impurity, allowing us to identify the screening cloud and compare to density matrix renormalization group calculations. Secondly, we study the screening cloud of the two-channel Kondo model, a problem difficult to tackle using existing numerical tools.

  We argue that this problem is analogous to that of simulating Clifford circuits with non-stabilizer initial states. Our construction is based on an extension of the covariance matrix formalism which permits to efficiently track relative phases in superpositions of Gaussian states. It yields simulation algorithms with complexity in the number of fermions, the desired accuracy, and certain quantities capturing the degree of non-Gaussianity of the initial state.

Our results show that the RAMPS approach offers promise as an alternative tool for studying quantum impurity problems in regimes that challenge established methods.
