The Gutzwiller wave function for the three-band Hubbard model on a two dimensional CuO$_2$ plane is studied by using the variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method in the limit $U_d \to \infty$, where $U_d$ is the Coulomb repulsion between holes…

We use the Gutzwiller Density Functional Theory to calculate ground-state properties and bandstructures of iron in its body-centered-cubic (bcc) and hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) phases. For a Hubbard interaction $U=9\, {\rm eV}$ and…
In this work I investigate a two-band Hubbard model using the Gutzwiller wavefunction. The tight-binding part of the model was constructed to have a gapless spin-density wave state which leads to Dirac points in the bandstructure, a common…
We analyze the ground-state properties of strongly-correlated electrons coupled with phonons by means of a generalized Gutzwiller wavefunction which includes phononic degrees of freedom. We study in detail the paramagnetic half-filled…
Double hybrid density functional theory arguably sits on the seamline between wavefunction methods and DFT: it represents a special case of Rung 5 on the "Jacobs Ladder" of John P. Perdew. For large and chemically diverse benchmarks such as…
