Record

-0.6464 E/site

VMC (stripe λ = 12 + Jastrow + backflow)

Marino et al. (2022) · lowest unflagged energy published, a strict variational bound (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 = 0.15, U = 12, N↑ = N↓ = 126 on 288 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).

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

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.

Table 2 (U/t = 12), row t'/t = 0.15, column E_stripe (λ = 12), Lx = 48 per the caption; no per-value error bar | Energy per site in units of t on Lx x 6 ladders with 'periodic boundary conditions along both the x and the y directions', hole doping 1/8 (n = 7/8). Eq. (1): H = -t sum_<ij> - t' sum_<<ij>> + U sum n_up n_dn, so t2 = t'. Table 2 caption: Lx = 48, except Lx = 40 for the λ = 5 stripes. 'The error bar on the energy is always smaller than 10^-4' is one statement for the whole table, not a per-value sigma.
