Radom XXZ Model with Random

Consider the Hamiltonian H = ∑ᵢ (σᵢˣσᵢ₊₁ˣ + σᵢʸσᵢ₊₁ʸ + hᵢσᵢᶻσᵢ₊₁ᶻ). We choose the system size to be L=10. The Hamiltonian need 3 generic information:

  1. Local operators represented by matrices;
  2. Site indices where each local operator acts on;
  3. Basis, if use the default tensor-product basis, only need to provide the system size.

The following script generate the information we need to generate XXZ Hamiltonian:

L = 10
mats = [
    fill(spin("XX"), L);
    fill(spin("YY"), L);
    [randn() * spin("ZZ") for i=1:L]
]
inds = [
    [[i, mod(i, L)+1] for i=1:L];
    [[i, mod(i, L)+1] for i=1:L];
    [[i, mod(i, L)+1] for i=1:L]
]
H = operator(mats, inds, L)

Then we can use the constructor operator to create Hamiltonian:

julia> H = operator(mats, inds, L)
Operator of size (1024, 1024) with 10 terms.

The constructor return an Operator object, which is a linear operator that can act on vector/ matrix. For example, we can act H on the ferromagnetic state:

julia> ψ = zeros(2^L); ψ[1] = 1; H * random_state

If we need a matrix representation of the Hamitonian, we can convert H to julia array by:

julia> Array(H)
1024×1024 Matrix{Float64}:

Or use the function sparse to create the sparse matrix (requires the module SparseArrays being imported):

julia> sparse(H)

Translational-invariant AKLT Model

Consider the AKLT model H = ∑ᵢ S⃗ᵢ⋅S⃗ᵢ₊₁ + 1/3 ∑ᵢ (S⃗ᵢ⋅S⃗ᵢ₊₁)², with system size chosen to be L=8. The Hamiltonian operator for this translational-invariant Hamiltonian can be constructed using the trans_inv_operator function:

L = 8
SS = spin((1, "xx"), (1, "yy"), (1, "zz"), D=3)
mat = SS + 1/3 * SS^2
H = trans_inv_operator(mat, 1:2, L)

The second input specifies the indices the operators act on.

Because of the translational symmetry, we can simplify the problem by considering the symmetry. We construct a translational-symmetric basis by:

B = TranslationalBasis(0, 8, base=3)

Here the first argument labels the momentum k = 0,...,L-1, the second argument is the length of the system. The function TranslationalBasis return a basis object containing 834 states. We can obtain the Hamiltonian in this sector by:

julia> H = trans_inv_operator(mat, 1:2, B)
Operator of size (834, 834) with 8 terms.

In addition, we can take into account the total Sz conservation, by constructing the basis

B = TranslationalBasis(x -> sum(x) == 8, 0, 8, base=3)

where the first argument is the selection function. The function (x -> sum(x) == 8) means we select those states whose total Sz equalls 0 (note that we use 0,1,2 to label the Sz=1,0,-1 states). This gives a further reduced Hamiltonian matrix:

julia> H = trans_inv_operator(mat, 1:2, B)
Operator of size (142, 142) with 8 terms.

We can go on step further by considering the spatial reflection symmetry.

B = TranslationParityBasis(x -> sum(x) == 8, 0, 1, L, base=3)

where the second argument is the momentum, the third argument is the parity p = ±1.

julia> H = trans_inv_operator(mat, 1:2, B)
Operator of size (84, 84) with 8 terms.
