Problems with worms??
by Jakub Zakrzewski 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Hello, Sometimes QMC worm code (used on Bose-Hubbard) terminates with the following error: here come first earlier succesful simulations then ... Created run 85 remote on Host ID: 84 Created run 86 remote on Host ID: 85 Created run 87 remote on Host ID: 86 Created run 88 remote on Host ID: 87 All processes have been assigned Checking if Simulation 1 is finished: not yet, next check in 120 seconds ( 0% done). q = -0 state1 = 0 state2 = 0 bond_type = 0 zero matrix element in remove_jump application called MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD, -2) - process 67 Could somebody advice what I can do? Best regards Kuba

calculation of local density of states

Dear all, Is it possible to calculate local density of states within the framework of exact diagonalization in ALPS? Thanks a lot!

Averages vs MC time
by Giuseppe Carleo 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

Dear Alps developers, I would like to ask you a simple question about the simulation output of the alps scheduler: Is there a straightforward way to extract the average value of a given observable as a function of the monte carlo time? (for example, to roughly see wether the equilibration phase is completed). I couldn't find an example of this on the online tutorial. Thank you in advance, Giuseppe

Fermion Hubbard Model

Dear Alps users, First of all I want to congratulate you for the wonderful job of Alps. I was looking for information, to check if Alps is able to apply Quantum Monte Carlo to fermion Hubbard Model in half filling. If right now is not able do you think that this is an feature that we could expect from Alps in the future? Thanks in advance João Lopes

Combining print_numeric and sparsediag to find Ground-State
by rexlundgren＠mail.utexas.edu 27 Aug '10

27 Aug '10

Hello all, I am trying to find the ground state eigenvector of a system to study entanglement. I read on a previous post that you can copy and paste the program print_numeric to the sparsediag program to print the basis vector of the ground state. I am however having some problems of knowing what to copy and paste due my inexperience with C++. I would be grateful for any help or hints on how to combine the two programs. Thanks, Rex

worm algoritm

Hi At the moment I am testing a spin-1/2 model in a external magnetic field using worm algorithms. However it returns a error message " No subinterval found in traverse subintervals ". What exactly should I do in order to get the algorithm going? Thanks. Sincerely, Kubila

Question on looper
by Klaus Larjo 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Dear all, I'm studying the spin-1/2 XXZ spin chain. As I understand it, among other things the loop algorithm computes the partition function Z = Tr <n| e^(-bH) |n>, with b the inverse temperature, |n> a basis vector, and Tr a sum over that basis. However, I would like to compute matrix elements of the form <n| e^(-bH) |m>, where |n> and |m> are basis vectors to be specified by me. Is this possible to do via the looper algorithm, or any of the other ALPS algorithms based on worldline QMC? Thank you, Klaus

[help] cannot compute local magnetization in ED

Hello All, I was trying to compute the local <S> in the Kitaev model defined on the honeycomb lattice with Exact Diagnolization Here is my parameter file: MODEL="kitaev"; LATTICE="honeycomb lattice"; LATTICE_LIBRARY="../../../definitions/kitaev/lattices.xml"; MODEL_LIBRARY="../../../definitions/kitaev/models.xml"; MEASURE_LOCAL[Local Sz]=Sz; MEASURE_LOCAL[Local Sx]=Sx; MEASURE_LOCAL[Local Sy]=Sy; local_S=1/2; L=2; W=2; J=1; However, in the output xml file, there are no such terms as the Local Sz or Local Splux or Local Sminus. I wonder if anyone could kindly point out what is the problem. The Kitaev model is defined in the following models.xml Thanks a lot! <MODELS> <SITEBASIS name="spin"> <PARAMETER name="local_spin" default="local_S"/> <PARAMETER name="local_S" default="1/2"/> <QUANTUMNUMBER name="S" min="local_spin" max="local_spin"/> <QUANTUMNUMBER name="Sz" min="-S" max="S"/> <OPERATOR name="Splus" matrixelement="sqrt(S*(S+1)-Sz*(Sz+1))"> <CHANGE quantumnumber="Sz" change="1"/> </OPERATOR> <OPERATOR name="Sminus" matrixelement="sqrt(S*(S+1)-Sz*(Sz-1))"> <CHANGE quantumnumber="Sz" change="-1"/> </OPERATOR> <OPERATOR name="Sz" matrixelement="Sz"/> </SITEBASIS> <SITEOPERATOR name="Sx" site="x"> 1/2*(Splus(x)+Sminus(x)) </SITEOPERATOR> <SITEOPERATOR name="Sy" site="x"> 1/2/I*(Splus(x)-Sminus(x)) </SITEOPERATOR> <BASIS name="spin"> <SITEBASIS ref="spin"/> </BASIS> <HAMILTONIAN name="kitaev"> <PARAMETER name="J1" default="1"/> <PARAMETER name="Jz" default="J1"/> <PARAMETER name="Jx" default="J1"/> <PARAMETER name="Jy" default="J1"/> <BASIS ref="spin"/> <BONDTERM type="0" source="i" target="j"> Jz*Sz(i)*Sz(j) </BONDTERM> <BONDTERM type="1" source="i" target="j"> Jx*Sx(i)*Sx(j) </BONDTERM> <BONDTERM type="2" source="i" target="j"> Jy*Sy(i)*Sy(j) </BONDTERM> </HAMILTONIAN> </MODELS> Jun

Re: [ALPS-users] dmrg errors
by sebastian.greschner＠itp.uni-hannover.de 01 Aug '10

Hi Matthias, it seems to me that the segfaults occur for lattices with different types of vertices. For example, if I add fields at the beginning and the end of a Heisenberg-chain, I get segmentation faults for the following parameter file LATTICE_LIBRARY="mychain.xml" LATTICE="my open chain lattice N=16" MODEL="spin" NUMBER_EIGENVALUES=1 SWEEPS=4 COMPLEX=1 L=16 h0=1.5 h1=0.0 h2=1.5 MEASURE_LOCAL[Sz]=Sz {MAXSTATES=20} Strangely, if I change some parameters, for example set h0 and h2=1.0 or VERBOSE=1 everything works fine... Here mychain.xml just defines an open chain with edge-fields: <LATTICES> <GRAPH name = "my open chain lattice N=16" dimension="1" vertices="16" edges="15"> <VERTEX id="1" type="0"><COORDINATE>0</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="2" type="1"><COORDINATE>1</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="3" type="1"><COORDINATE>2</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="4" type="1"><COORDINATE>3</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="5" type="1"><COORDINATE>4</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="6" type="1"><COORDINATE>5</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="7" type="1"><COORDINATE>6</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="8" type="1"><COORDINATE>7</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="9" type="1"><COORDINATE>8</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="10" type="1"><COORDINATE>9</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="11" type="1"><COORDINATE>10</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="12" type="1"><COORDINATE>11</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="13" type="1"><COORDINATE>12</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="14" type="1"><COORDINATE>13</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="15" type="1"><COORDINATE>14</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <VERTEX id="16" type="2"><COORDINATE>15</COORDINATE></VERTEX> <EDGE source="1" target="2" id="1" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="2" target="3" id="2" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="3" target="4" id="3" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="4" target="5" id="4" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="5" target="6" id="5" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="6" target="7" id="6" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="7" target="8" id="7" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="8" target="9" id="8" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="9" target="10" id="9" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="10" target="11" id="10" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="11" target="12" id="11" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="12" target="13" id="12" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="13" target="14" id="13" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="14" target="15" id="14" type="0" vector="1"/> <EDGE source="15" target="16" id="15" type="0" vector="1"/> </GRAPH> </LATTICES> Can you reproduce this error?!
