question about sparsediag
by 陈巧妮 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

Hi, everyone When I use sparsediag to diagnalize the Hamiltonian of Hubbard model, the paprameter is : CONSERVED_QUANTUMNUMBERS="Nup,Ndown" Nup_total=6 Ndown_total=6 the system size is L=12, no translation symmetry here, the process will take 100s, which is much slower than our own Davison code(It only take 20s). if I add the measurements MEASURE_ENERGY="True" MEASURE_LOCAL[density]=n MEASURE_LOCAL[double occupancy]=U*double_occupancy MEASURE_CORRELATIONS[density matrix_up]="cdag_up:c_up" MEASURE_CORRELATIONS[density matrix_down]="cdag_down:c_down" the process will take 900s. Does anyone know how to speed up this calculation? Or at least avoid the waste time on the measurements -- Qiaoni Chen Department of Chemistry, Princeton University Princeton, NJ, 08544 Tel +1-609-865-0817

Green's function measurement in the loop and directed loop codes
by Francisco Cordobés 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

Hello, I was wondering what is the definition that that the loop and directed loop code return when the options: 'MEASURE[Correlations]' : True, 'MEASURE[Structure Factor]' : True, 'MEASURE[Green Function]' : True, Because I haven't been able to find them and I would like to know what they are and more importantly what prefactors it has or it hasn't. Thank you very much, Francisco Cordobes

4 point correlations
by "Michał Maik" 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to calculate any 4 point correlation functions. I am interested in calculating: <a_dag(i) a_dag(i) a(j) a(j)> I would like to look at pair superfliudity and these correlation functions would be very useful. As a side question, is there a way to use the winding numbers from the worms code output to study this effect? Thank you. Best Michal Maik

Fwd: string order parameter in ALPS
by Synge Todo 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

Dear ALPS Developers, Can anyone tell him how to measure the string order parameter in the ALPS exact diagonalization code, or in the ALPS DMRG code?

Dear ALPS user is it possible to define a distance dependent terms to Hamiltonians ,like this term, V/|i-j| I try to define this term but the program can not evaluate i & j. thanks in advance

pyalps functions description
by Deepak Iyer 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

Hi New user here. I've been looking for some docs where there is a complete list of all the pyalps functions with descriptions. Also, is there some place I can find a list of all the hardcoded measurements, etc.? Thanks! Deepak

Import Error for ALPS on Windows 7
by Jay Deep Sau 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

Hi, I am trying to install ALPS on 64 bit Windows 7. I followed the following steps: (1) I installed vistrails from the binary executable. (2) I then downloaded and installed ALPS (both from the main binary package and also the nightly snapshot) and also the ALPS vistrails binary package. (3) I set the paths manually to add C:\Program Files\Vistrails\vistrails\Python27_64\;C:\Program Files\Vistrails\vistrails\Python27_64\lib\;C:\Program Files\ALPS\bin\; so that vispython and python can be run from the command prompt. (4) I copied the tutorial directory to my Desktop. (5) I then entered the tutorial directory and executed test_py.py using python. The resulting pytest.log was as follows: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dmft-02-hybridization\tutorial2a.py: Traceback (most recent call last): File "tutorial2a.py", line 27, in <module> import pyalps from ngs import * File "C:\Program Files\VisTrails\vistrails\Python27_64\lib\site-packages\pyalps\ngs.py", line 61, in <module> from pyngsobservable_c import createRealObservable #remove this with new ALEA! ImportError: cannot import name createRealObservable >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I got a similar error when I typed import pyalps in vispython. Any suggestions on what I did wrong would be great. thanks, Jay Deep Sau.

error during install - alps 2.1.1

Dear All, I am trying to install alps 2.1.1 - perhaps this will sove "Avoided problem" problem in my worm calculation. So far I haveproblems in setuping lapack. Installation of alps 2.0.2 took a week altogether to set up an modify the configfiles, but I have read that thenew version has updated installer so I suppose "old" tricks are just notappropriate. I wish to report I am stuck with: -- Using intel/mkl library: /opt/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1.7.256/mkl CMake Error at config/FindLapack.cmake:43 (STRING): string sub-command REGEX, mode REPLACE needs at least 6 arguments total to command.

worm and Floating point exception
by Mateusz Łącki 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Dear All I am using Worm to make some easy simulation with RESTRICT_MEASUREMENTS[N]=30 I understand that: If I set up the chemical potential correctly, then the MC algorithm encounters enough trajectories with N=30 and the output files contain resuls averagen only over trajectories with N=30 - approximation of the canonical ensemble. This is confirmed by user-experience and my weak recollecion of advide I have received here about oen year ago. But if I set the chemical potential wrongly then the average number of particles from the Grand canonical point of view is for example 45, and there are not enough (maybe even 0) trajectories to sample with N=30. In this case the output files contain somethink that makes the following python "result getter": ********************** get.py *********************** import pyalps import sys rf=pyalps.getResultFiles(prefix=sys.argv[1]) data = pyalps.loadMeasurements(rf) obl=pyalps.loadObservableList(rf) ******************************************************* behave rude: it says Floating point exception. and quits (even if only one of let say 500 output files is corrupt). Of course adjusting the chemical pontential is the key, but this seems to be complicated in a case where the phase diagram is complicated (I would have to do some form of extrapolation or binary search to get the right mu). On the other hand I see no other way to solve it. Another way to deal with that is to generate input files containing only one set of input parameters - this way each datapoint has its own prefix. It is not complicated, but somehow contrary to the idea behind the current format of the input data. Morover it is likely to make a bookkeeping mess. I have two questions: 1. is there a way to read these "faulty", "undersampled" ouput files without "Floating point exception." (I could then set up calculations for let say 10 different values of mu an choose mu that gave the closes answer - the simplest to code). 2. is there some easy way to make the MC autoadjust the chemical potential ? Regards, Mateusz Lacki

code for heisenberg model on fcc lattice
by sh po 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Dear friends. I would appreciate if you could help me with using classic montecarlo simulation for fcc lattice on Heisenberg hamiltonian with s=1 and H=SIGMA Jij Si.Sj and Jij is just sum over nearest neibours.Would you mind telling me step by step that what should I do and exactly which codes I must use for this purpose?Its the first time I wanna use Alps and I dont know the steps of working with it. Many thanks for your helps. I would appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.
