SSESimulation

Base class: Object

Simulation manager for the stochastic series expansion.

Factories

sse_simulation(const Lattice lattice, const NeighbourhoodRule neighbourhood_rule, real beta) -> SSESimulation

Constructs an SSE simulation instance.

Parameters

• lattice: The lattice geometry for the system to be simulated.
• neighbourhood_rule: The neighbourhood on which vertices can be defined.
• beta: The inverse temperature.

sse_simulation(const Lattice lattice, const List<NeighbourhoodRule> neighbourhood_rules, real beta) -> SSESimulation

Constructs an SSE simulation instance.

Parameters

• lattice: The lattice geometry for the system to be simulated.
• neighbourhood_rules: The neighbourhoods on which vertices can be defined.
• beta: The inverse temperature.

Members

Name	Description
add	Adds a vertex to the simulation
equilibrate	Runs a given number of equilibration sweeps with a maximum loop length and a custom random number generator.
get_beta	Returns the inverse temperature at which the simulation is run.
history	Returns the history of operator strings recorded during the SSE simulation.
initialize	Initializes the simulation using the heat bath algorithm with the conservative scattering function. Should be called after all vertices have been added.
set_beta	Sets a new inverse temperature for the simulation
simulate	Runs a given number of simulation sweeps, updating the given order estimator.
support_size	Returns the size of a named neighbourhood in the simulation.
support_table	Returns the neighbourhood table contained in the simulation.
