High-order expansion around BCS theory

We demonstrate that high-order diagrammatic expansion around BCS theory is a viable generic unbiased approach for strongly correlated fermions in superconducting or superfluid phases. For the 3D attractive Hubbard model in a strongly correlated regime, we observe convergence of the diagrammatic series, evaluated up to 12 loops thanks to the connected determinant diagrammatic Monte Carlo algorithm. Our study includes the polarized regime, where conventional quantum Monte Carlo methods suffer from the fermion sign problem. Upon increasing the Zeeman field, we observe the first-order superconducting-to-normal phase transition at low temperature, and a significant polarization of the superconducting phase at higher temperature.
