Generate Simulation Files

dqmc-generate

Create HDF5 simulation files for DQMC with specified physical parameters. Use when setting up new simulations, specifying lattice size, interaction strength U, chemical potential mu, temperature (via dt and L), or number of Monte Carlo sweeps.

Generate Simulation Files

Inputs

InputRequiredDefaultDescription
Nx, NyNo8Lattice dimensions
UNo6.0On-site interaction strength
muNo0.0Chemical potential
tpNo0.0Next-nearest neighbor hopping
dtNo0.1Imaginary time step
LNo40Number of time slices (beta = L*dt)
n_sweep_warmNo200Warmup sweeps
n_sweep_measNo2000Measurement sweeps
NfilesNo1Number of independent bins
prefixNosimOutput path prefix
period_uneqltNo0Unequal-time period (0=disabled)

Outputs

  • {prefix}_0.h5, {prefix}_1.h5, ... - HDF5 simulation files
  • {prefix}.h5.params - common params HDF5 file

Procedure

Option A: CLI (simple cases)

dqmc-util gen Nx=6 Ny=6 U=4.0 mu=0.0 dt=0.1 L=50 Nfiles=4 prefix=data/​run/​bin

Option B: Python (parameter scans)

from dqmc_util import gen_1band_hub

gen_1band_hub.create_batch(
    prefix="data/​run/​bin", Nfiles=4,
    Nx=6, Ny=6, U=4.0, mu=0.0, tp=0.0, dt=0.1, L=50
)

Choosing dt and L for a target temperature T:

import numpy as np
T = 0.25  # target temperature
U = 4.0
beta = 1.0 / T
dt = min((0.05/​U)**0.5, beta / 10)  # Trotter error constraint
L = int(np.ceil(beta / dt / 5) * 5)  # L must be divisible by n_matmul and period_eqlt (defaults: 5)
dt = beta / L  # recalculate exact dt

Validation

  • Files created: ls {prefix}_*.h5 {prefix}.h5.params
  • Trotter error check: U * dt^2 <= 0.05

Failure Modes

SymptomCauseRecovery
"File exists" errorPrevious files not cleanedRemove old files or use overwrite=1 argument
ValueError: L must be divisible ...L must be multiple of n_matmul and period_eqltAdjust value of L and dt, keeping their product (beta) constant

Do Not

  • Overwrite existing simulation files without confirmation
  • Ignore the Trotter error bound (U * dt^2 <= 0.05)
