摘要
We study the application of the density-matrix renormalization group to systems with one-dimensional acoustic phonons. We show how the use of a local oscillator basis circumvents the difficulties with the long-range interactions generated in real space using the normal phonon basis. When applied to a harmonic atomic chain, we find excellent agreement with the exact solution even when using a modest number of oscillator and block states (a few times ten). We discuss the use of this algorithm in more complex cases and point out its value when other techniques are deficient.
