The electronic structure of high-TC cuprates superconductors (HTCS) is among the most interesting issues of condensed matter physics since their discovery by Bednorz and Müller. It has been proven that the antiferromagnetic ground state of the parent compound of the HTCS is not accessible by using local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) as exchange-correlation energy functionals within density functional theory (DFT). Therefore, we calculated the electronic structure of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 by adding the Hubbard parameter to DFT (GGA+U) and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods. The calculations have been performed by Wien2k and Casino codes for GGA+U and QMC, respectively.
