susceptibility problem
by Stanislaw Galeski 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Hi everyone, Im new to ALPS so i apologize if my question is silly, however i did not manage to find an answer neither in the mailing list nor on the wiki. I am trying to calculate the magnetic susceptibility of a spin 1/2 ladder in a magnetic field above Hc1. Unfortunately the result i got is very puzzling: The calculated uniform susceptibility differs a lot from the susceptibility calculated as dM/dH. I was using the dirloop_sse algorithm on a 400 site ladder. Is there an easy explanation of this issue? Best, Stanislaw

The meaning of the 'TruncatedWeight' in ALPS MPS simulation
by Rongyang Sun 11 Jan '18

11 Jan '18

Dear ALPS users, The ALPS MPS code can print 'TruncatedWeight' to estimate the error of the simulation. I have a question: What is the meaning of this quantity and the relation with the truncation error in traditional DMRG simulation? For Fig. 5 in Computer Physics Communications, 185(12):3430 – 3440, 2014., the quantity may be summed as the final truncation error after a sweep. Thanks a lot! Best regards, Rongyang Sun

Documentation for MPS data structure
by Amir M.Aghaei 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

Hello and happy new year! I would like to be able to save(load) MPS with the ALPS format so that I can: i) initiate DMRG with custom MPS derived from a different code, or to be able to ii) use the overlap function and compare results of separate code to those of ALPS. The question is whether there is already a standard way implemented for such activities and is it documented? Also, is there a documentation for how the ALPS-MPS is saved in HDF5 format? Amir

Maybe a DataSet.props bug for ALPS MPS Project
by Rongyang Sun 17 Dec '17

17 Dec '17

Dear all, I found an interesting wrong var assignment in ALPS MPS Project version: MAQUIS repo r4143 (2013-2014). It appears both on OSX bmg package version and builds from source code version on Linux. You can use the following simple script to reappear the problem: ******************************************************** # # Author: Rongyang Sun <sun-rongyang(a)outlook.com> # Date: 2017-12-13 11:59 # Last Modified Date: 2017-12-13 11:59 # Last Modified By: Rongyang Sun <sun-rongyang(a)outlook.com> # # Description: A demo to show the interesting bug # import pyalps #prepare the input parameters parms = [ { 'LATTICE' : "open chain lattice", 'MODEL' : "spin", 'CONSERVED_QUANTUMNUMBERS' : 'N,Sz', 'Sz_total' : 0, 'J' : 1, 'spin' : 1, 'SWEEPS' : 4, 'NUMBER_EIGENVALUES' : 1, 'L' : 10, 'MAXSTATES' : 100 } ] input_file = pyalps.writeInputFiles('bug',parms) res = pyalps.runApplication('mps_optim',input_file,writexml=True) data = pyalps.loadEigenstateMeasurements(pyalps.getResultFiles(prefix='bug'),verbose=True) print("\nMODEL: {0}".format(str(data[0][0].props['MODEL']))) ******************************************************** It will return "MODEL: 1" not the right "MODEL" parameter because I define an unused parameter 'spin' with value 1. Once a parameter with a name which appears at the value of 'MODEL', it will be replaced by the value of the parameter. It is more severe for 't-J' model case. if you set 't': 1.0 and 'J': 0.5, 'MODEL' will be assigned as 0.5 which equals 1.0('t') - 0.5('J')! I have checked the output hdf5 file and found that the wrong replace had happened in the file. That means it may be a bug about ALPS MPS code. Best regards, Rongyang Sun

measuring truncation errors in mps_optim
by Robertson Esperanza 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

Thank you for all the help so far, now I'm trying to check for convergence of my results. First, is it enough to just check how the truncation error changes with sweeps (at a certain MAXSTATE value) or I need to both check the iteration history of the ground state energy and the truncation error? Second, checking the supplementary materials provided (Computer Physics Communications 185 (2014) 3430–3440) for the Hubbard ladder, why are there 381 values of energy and truncation weights for every iteration? Why is the total truncation error for that iteration is the sum of all the 381 truncation weight values (based on iteration.py)? How is truncation error defined (e.g. is it 1 - sum of all reduced density eigenvalues corresponding to all the picked states?) ? As far as I understand the DMRG algorithm every iteration/sweep has a corresponding bond dimension in which as you progress through iterations (until you reach the "SWEEPS"th iteration), bond dimension increases until you reach "MAXSTATES" at the "SWEEPS"th iteration. Regards, Robertson Esperanza

I have installed alps with Conda. Now I can not figure out how to run it mpi mode: mpirun not found. Previously I always build from source and put some parameters in cmake command. What can I do now? -- Tadeusz Wasiutyński

Questions about MEASURE_LOCAL_AT in MPS-DMRG
by Amir M.Aghaei 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

Hi, This is the documentation for 'MEASURE_LOCAL_AT' MEASURE_LOCAL_AT[NAME] > Syntax for the value: > [image: local_at_value.svg] > Defines a new measurement called NAME where the sequence of operators > op_1:...:op_n is applied to all tuples of indices (of length *n* like the > number of operators) listed after the vertical bar symbol. > I have three question: Q1: Are the indices, (i_11, ...i_1n), the vertex ids or vertex coordinates or the index of the vertex in some array, or sth else? Q2: I understand that the restriction i_1 < i_2 < i_3 ... is probably there to simplify the MPS contraction but is there a simple way to go around it? Q3: There is no limit on the number of measurement or the number of operators that can be defined, right? Amir

How to count dimension of graph defined in Lattice xml library
by Sun Rongyang 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Dear all, The definition method of a lattice in ALPS is delicate. But I meet a problem about dimension counting of a pure graph. On the one hand, I define an pure anisotropic graph as: ************************************************************************************************* <GRAPH name="anisotropic open ladder graph test">  <EDGE tyep="0" source="1" target="2"/> <EDGE tyep="0" source="2" target="3"/> <EDGE tyep="0" source="3" target="4"/> <EDGE tyep="0" source="4" target="5"/> <EDGE tyep="0" source="6" target="7"/> <EDGE tyep="0" source="7" target="8"/> <EDGE tyep="0" source="8" target="9"/> <EDGE tyep="0" source="9" target="10"/> <EDGE tyep="1" source="1" target="6"/> <EDGE tyep="1" source="2" target="7"/> <EDGE tyep="1" source="3" target="8"/> <EDGE tyep="1" source="4" target="9"/> <EDGE tyep="1" source="5" target="10"/> </GRAPH> ************************************************************************************************* On the other hand, I use the default LATTICEGRAPH "open ladder", I copy here: ************************************************************************************************* <LATTICE name="square lattice" dimension="2"> <PARAMETER name="a" default="1"/> <BASIS><VECTOR>a 0</VECTOR><VECTOR>0 a</VECTOR></BASIS> <RECIPROCALBASIS><VECTOR>2*pi/a 0</VECTOR><VECTOR>0 2*pi/a</VECTOR></RECIPROCALBASIS> </LATTICE> <UNITCELL name="anisotropic2d" dimension="2"> <VERTEX/> <EDGE type="0"><SOURCE vertex="1" offset="0 0"/><TARGET vertex="1" offset="1 0"/></EDGE> <EDGE type="1"><SOURCE vertex="1" offset="0 0"/><TARGET vertex="1" offset="0 1"/></EDGE> </UNITCELL> <LATTICEGRAPH name = "open ladder" vt_name="OpenLadderLattice"> <FINITELATTICE> <LATTICE ref="square lattice"/> <PARAMETER name="W" default="2"/> <EXTENT dimension="1" size="L"/> <EXTENT dimension="2" size="W"/> <BOUNDARY dimension="1" type="open"/> <BOUNDARY dimension="2" type="open"/> </FINITELATTICE> <UNITCELL ref="anisotropic2d"/> </LATTICEGRAPH> ************************************************************************************************* with parameters L=2, W=5.
