Liouvillian recursion method for the electronic Green's function

Abstract

In this paper, we present a framework for the recursion method applied within the Liouvillian formalism, enabling the computation of response functions for a wide range of quantum operators. Indeed, unlike most previous literature on the Liouvillian recursion method, this framework readily computes electronic Green's function. We demonstrate the method by showcasing its application to a temperature dependence study of a $2\times2$ Hubbard model. Our results show that the recursion method accurately computes response functions and provides valuable insights into quantum many-body systems. While the method has already been successfully applied to study of condensed matter, further efforts are required to develop efficient algorithms for larger and more realistic systems. Tensor network methods and other variational techniques hold promise for tackling these challenges. Overall, the recursion method offers a flexible approach for investigating strongly correlated system.
