We apply a variational wave function capable of describing qualitatively and quantitatively the so called "resonating valence bond" in realistic materials, by improving standard ab initio calculations by means of quantum Monte Carlo…

Using numerical results from a density matrix renormalization group study as a guide, we develop a resonating valence bond (RVB) theory for coupled Heisenberg chains. We argue that simple topological effects mandate a short-range RVB…

We present a variational MonteCarlo (VMC) and lattice regularized diffusion MonteCarlo (LRDMC) study of the binding energy and dispersion curve of the water dimer. As a variation ansatz we use the JAGP wave function, an implementation of…

We have performed Diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of Li clusters showing that Resonating-Valence-Bond (RVB) pairing correlations between electrons provide a substantial contribution to the cohesive energy. The RVB effects are…

We study electronic properties of graphene with finite concentration of vacancies or other resonant scatterers by a straightforward lattice Quantum Monte Carlo calculations. Taking into account realistic long-range Coulomb interaction we…

Although mean field theories have been very successful to predict a wide range of properties for solids, the discovery of high temperature superconductivity in cuprates supported the idea that strongly correlated materials cannot be…

To address the issue of electron correlation driven superconductivity in graphene, we perform a systematic quantum Monte Carlo study of the pairing correlation in the t-U-V Hubbard model on a honeycomb lattice. For V=0 and close to half…

We study the quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice, which is expected to describe the singlet dynamics of frustrated Heisenberg models in phases where valence bond configurations dominate their physics. We find, in contrast to the…

We report diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the interlayer binding energy of bilayer graphene. We find the binding energies of the AA- and AB-stacked structures at the equilibrium separation to be 11.5(9) and 17.7(9) meV/atom,…

The density of electronic one-particle states in monolayer graphene is studied by performing the Hybrid Monte-Carlo simulations of the tight-binding model for electrons on the pi orbitals of carbon atoms which make up the graphene lattice.…

The electrostatic confinement of massless charge carriers is hampered by Klein tunneling. Circumventing this problem in graphene mainly relies on carving out nanostructures or applying electric displacement fields to open a band gap in…

We report results of large-scale quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations of graphene. Using cutting-edge algorithmic improvements, we are able to consider spatial volumes, corresponding to 20808 electrons, that allow us to access energy…

An antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a 1/5-depleted two-dimensional square-lattice, a model of CaV$_4$O$_9$, is investigated by variational Monte Carlo simulation. A prototype of a trial wave function is made by projecting out the…

We use Monte Carlo simulations to study properties of Anderson's resonating-valence-bond (RVB) spin-liquid state on the square lattice (i.e., the equal superposition of all pairing of spins into nearest-neighbor singlet pairs) and compare…

The Resonating Valence Bond (RVB) theory for two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets is shown to be the correct paradigm for large enough ``quantum frustration''. This scenario, proposed long time ago but never confirmed by microscopic…

Following recently published study of Prezhdo and coworkers (JPC Letters, 2014, 5, 4129-4133), we report a systematic investigation of how monovalent and divalent ions influence valence electronic structure of graphene. Pure density…

We study a short-range resonating valence bond (RVB) wave function with diagonal links on the square lattice that permits sign-problem free wave function Monte-Carlo studies. Special attention is given to entanglement properties, in…

Finding an effective and controllable way to create a sizable energy gap in graphene-based systems has been a challenging topic of intensive research. We propose that the hybrid of boron nitride and graphene (h-BNC) at low BN doping serves…

In this work we theoretically study pairing in two-dimensional Fermi gases, a system which is experimentally accessible using cold atoms. We start by deriving the mean-field pairing gap equation for a coordinate-space potential with a…

Using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy, we probe the electronic structures of single layer ${\small MoS_2}$ on graphite. We show that the quasiparticle energy gap of single layer ${\small MoS_2}$ is 2.15 $\pm$ 0.07 eV at 77 K.…
