v0.13.0

Rimu v0.13.0

Diff since v0.12.0

Breaking changes

• Changes to the AbstractHamiltonian interface: The function allowed_address_type is removed and replaced by the function allows_address_type, which takes two arguments, an operator and a type and returns a boolean.

New features

• AbstractOperator is a new abstract type that can be used for operators that are to be used as observables, e.g. for calculating their dot products in the context of a ReplicaStrategy. AbstractOperator is a supertype of AbstractHamiltonian and has a similar interface but doesn't require starting_address.
• VectorInterface.scalartype is defined for AbstractHamiltonian and AbstractOperator to define the underlying scalar type. In contrast, eltype defines the type returned by diagonal_element, offdiagonals, and the three-way dot product. This may be an array for AbstractOperator only. For AbstractHamiltonians the etype and scalartype should be identical.
• Attempting to use a complex Hamiltonian with ProjectorMonteCarloProblem throws an error.
• The SingleParticleExcitation and TwoParticleExcitation operators, which can be used to compute reduced density matrices were added.
• ExtendedHubbardReal1D now supports twisted boundary conditions and complex hopping strengths.
• The number of MPI calls during a projector Monte Carlo run has been reduced.

v0.12.0

Rimu v0.12.0

Diff since v0.11.2

Breaking release with a major rework of the user interface.
This release is a transition step where a much of the old user interface
is still there an usable but deprecated. If you get warning messages using
your scripts with this release, please follow instructions and update
your script to be ready for the next breaking release.

New user interface

• CommonSolve.solve is implemented for ProjectorMonteCarloProblem as the main entrance point
  to perform an FCIQMC calculation. Methods for solve, solve!, init are implemented.
  A report in form of a DataFrame can be returned from a simulation but the column names have changed.
• ExactDiagonalizationProblem together with the relevant solve method is a new access point for
  exact diagonalization of AbstractHamiltonians

See PR#248 for a more detailed description of the changes.

Other new features

• LatticeGeometry, PeriodicBoundaries, HardwallBoundaries and LadderBoundaries replaced with CubicGrid.
• Observables with eltype(op) <: AbstractArray are now supported in both dot and for use in AllOverlaps.
• New G2RealSpace operator, which is aware of the geometry and computes G_2 for all displacement vectors at the same time.

Deprecations

• lomc!
• targetwalkers as keyword argument to many ShiftStrategys is deprecated in favor of target_walkers
• FCIQMCRunStrategy and its subtype RunTillLastStep are deprecated.

Breaking changes

• LatticeGeometry no longer exists, PeriodicBoundaries, HardwallBoundaries and LadderBoundaries are no longer separate types. All user code should still run without modifications.
• removed TripleLogUpdate
• lomc! does not accept AbstractMatrix as argument
• new default style=IsDynamicSemistochastic() for default_starting_vector

v0.11.0

Rimu v0.11.0

Diff since v0.10.2

A minor breaking release with mostly new functionality and minor changes in behaviour that are strictly breaking, but most old scripts should run without changes.

New features

• Number non-conserving Fock state OccupationNumberFS #234
• Observables SuperfluidCorrelator and StringCorrelator for 1D Hubbard chains #227

Changed behaviour

• Fock states can be constructed by passing occupation numbers directly into constructors for BoseFS, FermiFS, and OccupationNumberFS #234
• Rules related to the initiator method are now exported and can be passed into lomc! with a keyword argument #236

Bug fixes

• in single_particle_density, #225
• in BernoulliSpawning, #233
• Benchmark tune file updated to work with latest package version

Breaking changes

• BoseFS(m::Integer) was previously interpreted as the vacuum state (zero particles) with m modes, but is now interpreted as a state with m particles in a single mode. Use BoseFS(m::Integer, 1=>0) to construct the vacuum state with m modes.

v0.10.2

Rimu v0.10.2

Diff since v0.10.1

A non-breaking restructure of the keyword arguments for lomc!(). More parameters of an FCIQMC calculation can be passed directly as keyword arguments to lomc!() reducing the need to pre-construct the initial vector and strategy-type arguments.

The script BHM-example.jl is redone.

Changed and modified keyword argument to lomc!()

• address (new) - used for starting vector and initial shift
• threading (reinstated) - controls parallelism and is used for initial starting vector
• shift (new) - initial value of shift
• dτ (now documented) - initial time step
• targetwalkers (new) - target norm for DoubleLogUpdate

New functions

• default_starting_vector - the default starting vector for lomc!

The keyword argument params::FciqmcRunStrategy is now obsolete (though still accepted). In practice it should now rarely be necessary to explicitly construct the starting vector v and the s_strat::ShiftStrategy=DoubleLogUpdate keyword argument.

Diff since v0.9.0

Breaking changes:

• DataFrames saved with save_df or ReportToFile can now be compressed and will be compressed by default.
• Addresses can now be written to and read from Arrow files.
• The HOCartesianCentralImpurity Hamiltonian for particles in a harmonic trap with a delta potential in the middle.
