Hubbard rectangular 16x32, U = 8, n = 0.875, t12 (t2 = -0.2)

Record

-0.7406 E/site

Fixed-node GFMC (trial state: SCALE, 1 conv layer, horizontal half-filled stripe λ = 4)

Gu et al. (2026) · lowest unflagged energy published, a projected estimate (rules §6)

The Hamiltonian

H = −t1 ∑⟨ij⟩,σ (c†iσcjσ + h.c.) −t2 ∑⟨⟨ij⟩⟩,σ (c†iσcjσ + h.c.) + U ∑i ni↑ni↓

t1 = 1, t2 = -0.2, U = 8, N↑ = N↓ = 224 on 512 sites.

This instance is a t12 variant with a next-nearest-neighbour hopping t2, written as in VarBench's Eq. (S6). t2 is the t′ of the sources' H = −t ∑⟨ij⟩ − t′ ∑⟨⟨ij⟩⟩ + U ∑ ni↑ni↓. The couplings are those each source prints (see the rows).

Every published energy

Grouped by what the number is. On a solved instance the exact energy is the record; otherwise the lowest unflagged energy of any group holds it (rules §6).

Strict variational upper bounds (2)

Energies that a variational state reached (VMC, DMRG and MPS at finite bond dimension, PEPS, NQS, VQE). Each is an upper bound on the ground-state energy.

Projected or fixed-node estimates (2)

Variational only within a constraint: fixed-node, constrained-path, GFMC on a trial state. Each depends on its node or constraint, so two of them are not cleanly comparable to each other or to strict bounds.
