TLDR
Calculations based on the dynamical mean-field theory of the Hubbard model with the infrared spectral weight W(Omega,T) of La(2-x)SrxCuO4 and other cuprates show that most of the anomalies found in W( Omega, T) with respect to normal metals can be ascribed to strong correlation effects.
Abstract
We compare calculations based on the dynamical mean-field theory of the Hubbard model with the infrared spectral weight W(Omega,T) of La(2-x)SrxCuO4 and other cuprates. Without using fitting parameters we show that most of the anomalies found in W(Omega,T) with respect to normal metals, including the existence of two different energy scales for the doping and the T dependence of W(Omega,T), can be ascribed to strong correlation effects.

Continuous-Time Solver for Quantum Impurity Models

TL;DR: A new continuous-time solver for quantum impurity models such as those relevant to dynamical mean field theory, based on a stochastic sampling of a perturbation expansion in the impurity-bath hybridization parameter is presented, which allows very efficient simulations even at low temperatures and for strong interactions.

Optical conductivity and the correlation strength of high-temperature copper-oxide superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of new theoretical calculations and published optical conductivity measurements is presented, which indicates that the correlation strength in the cuprates is not as strong as previously believed, in particular that the materials are not properly regarded as Mott insulators.
