Abstract

We present release 3.0 of the ALPS (Algorithms and Libraries for Physics Simulations) project, an open-source software project to develop libraries and application programs for the simulation of strongly correlated quantum lattice models such as quantum magnets, lattice bosons, and strongly correlated fermion systems. As in previous releases, development is centered on common data formats, on libraries to simplify and speed up code development, and on full-featured simulation programs that let non-experts carry out serial or parallel numerical simulations using the important algorithms for quantum lattice models: classical and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) using non-local updates, extended-ensemble simulations, exact and full diagonalization (ED), the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), and continuous-time QMC solvers for dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). Major changes in release 3.0 include distribution of the pyalps binary through the Python Package Index (pip install pyalps) and through Spack for HPC systems; migration of development to GitHub with continuous integration and automated testing; relicensing of the package under the permissive MIT license; a rebuilt documentation and tutorial website, including a set of Jupyter-notebook tutorials and localized content; a broad modernization of the C++ codebase (C++17 compliance, Boost and NumPy 2.0 compatibility, and warning and dead-code cleanup) together with a major DMRG update and associated reliability and build-compatibility fixes; the removal of legacy components (the VisTrails provenance integration and the TEBD, MPS, and directed-worm-algorithm application codes); archival of release 3.0.0 with a Zenodo DOI (10.5281/zenodo.22775899); and a formal governance and sustainability model developed under the US National Science Foundation (NSF) POSE program. The software is available at https://alps.comp-phys.org.

Generalized $η$-pairing approach to interacting non-Hermitian systems in arbitrary dimensions

Developing a general and rigorous analytical approach to non-Hermitian many-body systems is a challenging task. Here, we generalize the eta-pairing theory to very general non-Hermitian Hubbard models and find many novel phenomena without Hermitian analogs. For instance, the Hermitian conjugate of an eta-pairing eigenoperator may not be an eigenoperator, eta-pairing eigenoperators can be spatially modulated, and the $SU(2)$ pseudospin symmetry may not be possible even if $H$ commutes with the eta-pairing operators. Remarkably, these novel non-Hermitian phenomena are closely related to each other by several theorems we establish and can lead to, for example, new types of eta-pairing operators (e.g., the notion of non-Hermitian angular-momentum operators) and the Fock space localization of many-body eta-pairing eigenstates. Some issues on the $SO(4)$ and particle-hole symmetries are clarified. Our general eta-pairing theory also reveals a previously unnoticed unification of these symmetries of the Hubbard model. These general results can be illustrated with concrete examples such as the generalized Hatano-Nelson-Hubbard models and a general two-sublattice model. In particular, the general two-sublattice model can reveal the eta-pairing structure [e.g., the $SO(4)$ symmetry] in systems with Hermitian hoppings, including the original eta-pairing theory for square lattice, the extension to triangular lattice, and some topological systems. Our results establish a new and rigorous theoretical framework for studying interacting non-Hermitian systems in arbitrary spatial dimensions, even without bulk translation symmetry.

Dynamics and stability of U(1) spin liquids beyond mean-field theory: Triangular-lattice $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are long-range entangled phases of frustrated magnets exhibiting fractionalised spin excitations. In two dimensions, there is limited analytical understanding of their excitation spectra beyond parton mean-field theories, which fail to capture many features of the finite frequency dynamical response. We use a self-consistent mean-field theory combined with the random phase approximation (RPA) for the $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice to describe the strong spinon-spinon interactions of the U(1) Dirac QSL. We obtain quantitative results for the dynamical spin structure factor and phase diagram compatible with comprehensive numerical efforts. We show the continuum response at the Brillouin zone corners is described by a spinon-exciton hybridised with monopole gauge excitations. We further show that the transition from the QSL to 120-degree coplanar order is in the QED$_3$ O(3)-GN universality class. We extend the method to chiral QSLs and XXZ anisotropy, and discuss its broad range of applicability to other models and for describing inelastic neutron scattering experiments in KYbSe$_2$.

Fermi Liquid Fixed Point Deformations due to Codimension Two Defects

We show that codimension-two defects in Fermi liquids deform the renormalization group flow via a marginally relevant coupling. The mechanism for generating the flow is distinct from the case of the Kondo problem (codimension-three defects) in that the effective particle-hole asymmetry that leads to the log running is due to the spatial anisotropy generated by the defect. The mechanism for the log generation has a simple geometric explanation which shows that hole fluctuations are suppressed as the incoming momentum is taken to be along the direction of the defect. The RG flow time is shown to scale with the length of the defect. We also show that the dislon, the Goldstone mode localized to the defect, couples in a non-derivative fashion to the bulk fermions and becomes relevant above the dislons' Debye frequency which depends upon the defect tension.
