A Renormalization Group Method for Quasi One-dimensional Quantum Hamiltonians
Abstract
A density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method for highly anisotropic two-dimensional systems is presented. The method consists in applying the usual DMRG in two steps. In the first step, a pure one dimensional calculation along the longitudinal direction is made in order to generate a low energy Hamiltonian. In the second step, the anisotropic 2D lattice is obtained by coupling in the transverse direction the 1D Hamiltonians. The method is applied to the anisotropic quantum spin half Heisenberg model on a square lattice.
