Heisenberg square, 38 sites

Exact energy and best values (rules §6)

exact	-0.6779156	ED Richter et al. (2004) · the instance is solved

Energies as E/N (S.S). Classes are different claims and are not ranked against each other.

The Hamiltonian

H = ∑_⟨ij⟩ σ_i·σ_j

Nearest-neighbour Heisenberg antiferromagnet, J = 1, written with Pauli matrices.

lattice: square
sites: 38
boundary: periodic
energies: 1

Stored as a total energy; quoted here as E/N (S.S), which is what the papers report (how the conversion works).

Every published energy

Grouped by what the number is. The exact energy comes first where there is one; in every other group the lowest unflagged energy is its best value, and each row's distance is to that best (rules §6).

Numerically exact (1)

Exact diagonalization, an exact solution, or sign-problem-free QMC where that is established. An exact energy is shown first, before the best of each other class. QMC is exact only within its error bar, which it must state, and reads exact (stochastic); an exact diagonalization outranks it. For a diagonalization resolved by symmetry sector only the ground state's sector is listed; the lowest energies of the other sectors are the instance's spectrum, in its JSON, and are not shown as the exact energy.
