It is very important to elucidate the mechanism of superconductivity for achieving room temperature superconductivity. In the first half of this paper, we give a brief review on mechanisms of superconductivity in many-electron systems. We believe that high-temperature superconductivity may occur in a system with interaction of large-energy scale. Empirically, this is true for superconductors that have been found so far. In the second half of this paper, we discuss cuprate high-temperature superconductors. We argue that superconductivity of high temperature cuprates is induced by the strong on-site Coulomb interaction, that is, the origin of high-temperature superconductivity is the strong electron correlation. We show the results on the ground state of electronic models for high temperature cuprates on the basis of the optimization variational Monte Carlo method. A high-temperature superconducting phase will exist in the strongly correlated region.

We investigate the ground state of strongly correlated electron systems based on an optimization variational Monte Carlo method to clarify the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity. The wave function is optimized by introducing variational parameters in an exponential-type wave function beyond the Gutzwiller function. The many-body effect plays an important role as an origin of superconductivity in a correlated electron system. There is a crossover between weakly correlated region and strongly correlated region, where two regions are characterized by the strength of the on-site Coulomb interaction U. We insist that high-temperature superconductivity occurs in the strongly correlated region.

We investigate the electronic properties of the ground state of strongly correlated electron systems. We use an optimization variational Monte Carlo method for the two-dimensional Hubbard model and the three-band d-p model. The many-body wavefunction is improved and optimized by introducing variational parameters that control the correlation between electrons. The on-site repulsive Coulomb interaction U induces strong antiferromagnetic (AF) correlation. There is a crossover from weakly to strongly correlated regions as U increases. We show an idea that high-temperature superconductivity occurs as a result of this crossover in the strongly correlated region where U is greater than the bandwidth.

Recent progress in the energy and momentum resolutions in photoemission spectroscopy (PES) is remarkable, enabling a new challenge to long-standing and/or current fundamental problems in the strongly correlated electron systems. We review the history, current status, and future of high-resolution PES by showing representative experimental results on high-temperature superconductors, low-dimensional materials and heavy fermion f electron compounds.
