Ames National Laboratory is a government-owned, contractor-operated national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), operated by and located on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.
For more than 70 years, the Ames National Laboratory has successfully partnered with Iowa State University, and is unique among the 17 DOE laboratories in that it is physically located on the campus of a major research university. Many of the scientists and administrators at the Laboratory also hold faculty positions at the University and the Laboratory has access to both undergraduate and graduate student talent.

Abstract
The Gutzwiller conjugate gradient minimisation (GCGM) theory is an ab initio quantum many-body theory for computing the ground-state properties of infinite systems. Previous applications of GCGM provides satisfying accuracy of ground-state energy of Hubbard models. In the current work, we address the problem of whether the obtained wave function is a good approximation for the true ground state by comparing the correlation functions with the benchmark data. Our results confirms the accuracy of the reproduced ground state of the regular Hubbard model, but with some exception for the frustrated Hubbard model.
