Householder-transformed density matrix functional embedding theory

Résumé

Quantum embedding based on the (one-electron-reduced) density matrix is revisited by means of the unitary Householder transformation. While being exact and equivalent to (but formally simpler than) density matrix embedding theory (DMET) in the noninteracting case, the resulting Householder-transformed density matrix functional embedding theory (Ht-DMFET) preserves, by construction, the single-particle character of the bath when electron correlation is introduced. In Ht-DMFET, the projected “impurity+bath” cluster's Hamiltonian (from which approximate local properties of the interacting lattice can be extracted) becomes an explicit functional of the density matrix. In the spirit of single-impurity DMET, we consider in this work a closed (two-electron) cluster constructed from the full-size noninteracting density matrix. When the (Householder-transformed) interaction on the bath site is taken into account, per-site energies obtained for the half-filled one-dimensional Hubbard lattice match almost perfectly the exact Bethe ansatz results in all correlation regimes. In the strongly correlated regime, the results deteriorate away from half-filling. This can be related to the electron number fluctuations in the (two-site) cluster which are neither described in Ht-DMFET nor in regular DMET. As expected, the per-site energies dramatically improve when increasing the number of embedded impurities. Formal connections with density/density matrix functional theories have been briefly discussed and should be explored further. Work is currently in progress in this direction.
