Dear Michele.

Thank you for your very detailed answer. 

I have one more  question.

I am afraid that the approaches you have listed in your male have only  static nature. Maybe I am wrong but I didn't get how to apply t parameter depending on time. That maybe useful to simulate chain dynamics for example. 

Best, Nina

Dear Nina,

In the latest release of ALPS 2.2.0b3 we introduced a new set of codes based on MPS.
These codes use the ALPS model and lattice library, therefore there is not no problem running this kind of simulations.

To do so:
1. you need to create a custom lattice with a different type for each bond.
https://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/Tutorials:LatticeHOWTO

2. the model ?fermion Hubbard? is already able to handle different hopping amplitudes, just specify all values with the parameters t0=?, t1=?, ? where the number correspond to the bond type you specified in the lattice

3. finally you can setup a simulation using the new mps_evolve code. the easiest is to look at the mps-05 and mps-06 tutorials to have an idea on how to run the code.


Best regards,
Michele
