Quantitative analysis of the mechanism of superconductivity in the Hubbard model
Beijing AI for Science Institute
Abstract:
The mechanism of electronic superconductivity in systems with intertwined orders has been debated for a long time. Several electronic mechanisms have been proposed, but so far there is no unbiased way of attributing superconductivity to any one of them. In this talk, I will present numerical results that quantitatively analyze the nature of superconductivity in a non-perturbative calculation of the two-dimensional Hubbard model within the dynamical cluster approximation. The simulation results show that at intermediate-to-strong interaction strengths, the one-loop spin fluctuation theory can not fully explain the pairing of electrons in the singlet superconducting state. To have a generalized and unbiased way of analyzing all possible fluctuations on equal footing, we generalized the fluctuation diagnostics method to the ordered superconducting state. By analyzing the anomalous self-energy in the superconducting state, our fluctuation diagnostics calculation precisely identifies antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations as the glue of the d-wave pairing.
