Quantum Monte Carlo calculations on the 1-dimensional electron gas

ORAL

Abstract

I will present quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations on the 1-dimensional electron gas. In particular, we have computed the ground state energy, momentum density, pair-correlation function and static structure factor of electrons in 1d for different electron-electron interactions. By fitting to the resulting correlation functions, we find the Luttinger model parameters for the system and compare with experiments on a number of quasi-1d systems.
