Hi again all,
I just had a short question about the TEBD code in ALPS. I would like to study the evolution of an initial state that is a Neel state, but rotated by an angle /alpha about the y-axis, under the XXZ Hamiltonian. A Hamiltonian whose ground state would be the right one would simply have a magnetic field along the direction of /alpha that swaps direction at each site i.e. (-1)^l *(cos /alpha *S^z_l + sin /alpha *S^x_l) where l is the site number, but I can't see a way to put this into the code. Is alternating the sign of the interaction in this way possible?
Also, if there is another way of producing such a state in the TEBD code, it would be wonderful if someone pointed it out, I would be very grateful.
Thank you very much,
Joseph Prentice
