Magnetic correlations of a doped and frustrated Hubbard model: Benchmarking the two-particle self-consistent theory against a quantum simulator
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Recently, a quantum simulator for the two-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model on an anisotropic triangular lattice has been realized, where both geometrical frustration and doping can be continuously tuned. Here, we provide a comprehensive comparison between the magnetic correlations calculated by the two-particle self-consistent (TPSC) theory and those measured in this quantum simulator, at temperatures comparable to the spin-exchange energy and Hubbard interactions comparable to the bandwidth. We find overall excellent agreements between the TPSC calculations and the measurements from the quantum simulator at all levels of frustration and doping. This is quite remarkable considering that the Hubbard model is already in the intermediate- to strong-coupling regime, for which very few methods yield reliable results. Our work showcases the potential of TPSC as a theoretical approach capable of providing reasonably accurate descriptions of the Hubbard model even at fairly strong interactions and when the frustration is present.
