• Abstract: Variational methods are of fundamental importance and widely used in theoretical physics, especially for strongly interacting systems. In this work, we present a set of variational equations of state (VES) for pure states of an interacting quantum Hamiltonian. The VES can be expressed in terms of the variation of the density operators or static correlation functions. We derive the algebraic relationship between a known pure state density matrix and its variation, and obtain the VES by applying this relation to the averaged Heisenberg-equations-of-motion for the exact density matrix. Additionally, we provide a direct expression of the VES in terms of correlation functions to make it computable. We present three nontrivial applications of the VES: a perturbation calculation of correlation functions of the transverse field Ising model in arbitrary spatial dimensions, a study of a longitudinal field perturbation to the one-dimensional transverse field Ising model at the critical point and variational calculation of magnetization and ground state energy of the two-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on a square lattice. For the second one, our results not only recover the scaling limit, but also indicate the possibility of continuous tuning of the critical exponents by adjusting the longitudinal fields differently from the scaling limit. For the Heisenberg model, we obtained results numerically comparable to established results with simple calculations. The VES approach provides a powerful and versatile tool for studying interacting quantum systems.

We generalize a recently proposed variational uniform matrix product state algorithm for capturing one-dimensional quantum lattices. A key property of the algorithm is a computational effort that scales linearly rather than exponentially in the size of the unit cell.
