Exact diagonalization numerical results are presented for a 32-site square cluster, with two holes propagating in an antiferromagnetic background described by the t-J model. We characterize the wave function of the lowest energy bound state…
Clusters of the two-dimensionnal t--J model with 2 holes and up to 26 sites are diagonalized using a Lanczos algorithm. The behaviour of the binding energy with system size suggests the existence of a finite critical value of J above which…

Identifying the correct low-energy effective theory for magnons and holes in an antiferromagnet has remained an open problem for a long time. In analogy to the effective theory for pions and nucleons in QCD, based on a symmetry analysis of…
The T=0 phase diagram of the planar t--J model with small doping is investigated by exact diagonalisations of square clusters with up to 32 sites. At half-filling, the single hole quasi-particule weight vanishes in the strong correlation…
In strongly correlated quantum materials, the behavior of charge carriers is dominated by strong electron-electron interactions. These can lead to insulating states with spin order, and upon doping to competing ordered states including…
We show that the entangled-plaquette variational ansatz can be adapted to study the two-dimensional $t-J$ model in the presence of two mobile holes. Specifically, we focus on a square lattice comprising up to $N=256$ sites in the parameter…

Based on a variational approach, we propose that there are two kinds of low energy states in the t-J type models at low doping. In a quasi-particle state an unpaired spin bound to a hole with a well-defined momentum can be excited with spin…
