ALPS applications

Overview

• Classical Monte Carlo
• The application spinmc simulates classical spin systems using local and cluster updates.


• Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC)
• The loop algorithm for quantum spin systems with inversion symmetry using loop-cluster updates (from ALPS/looper Library).
• Stochastic series expansion (SSE) using the directed-loop algorithm for general quantum spin systems in magnetic fields or bosonic models.
• The worm code for continuous time simulations of quantum spin and bosonic models based on the path integral representations.
• The quantum Wang-Landau code for simulations of isotropic spin-1/2 models based on the Wang-Landau sampling scheme.


• Exact diagonalization
• A full diagonalization program for generic quantum lattice models
• An exact diagonalization program for boson and spin quantum lattice models


• Density matrix renormalization group (DMRG)
• "Particle in a box" program

Plans for the near future include an ALPS-compatibe DMRG programs for interacting particles by Ian McCulloch that will be distributed separately from this release.

• Determinantal Quantum Monte Carlo codes
• Real-time dynamics for the DMRG
• Perturbation and high-temperature series expansion programs
