Abstract

We study the Hubbard model using the Cellular Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (CDMFT) with quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations. We present the algorithmic details of CDMFT with the Hirsch-Fye QMC method for the solution of the self-consistently embedded quantum cluster problem. We use the one- and two-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model to gauge the performance of CDMFT+QMC particularly for small clusters by comparing with the exact results and also with other quantum cluster methods. We calculate single-particle Green's functions and self-energies on small clusters to study their size dependence in one- and two-dimensions.
