### Mismatch with ED results for SpinChainNNN2 Class

Hello,

We (@Anirban_Das and @Sagnik Chaudhuri ) are new users of TenPy and trying to implement TEBD real-time evolution for various models encoded in the package. We have been able to follow the documentation, and successfully matched the ED and TEBD results using TFIChain class.

Now, we are trying to extend the TEBD real time evolution for finite system size for Hamiltonians which have NNN (Next-nearest-neighbor interaction) terms in it. We start from a fully polarized 'up' state in z-direction. We have used NNN2 class and followed the c_tebd.py and e_tdvp.py example scripts from the TenPy documents for our simulation.

We face the following issues:

(1) For the given model parameters [model_params = dict(
L=L,
Jz=-4.0,
Jy=0.0,
Jx=0.0,
Jzp=2.8,
Jyp=0.0,
Jxp=0.0,
hz=0.04,
hx=2.4,
hy = 0.0,
bc_MPS='finite',
conserve=None,
) ],

We find a perfect match for L = 4,8,12 with ED. However for L = 6,7,9,10 TEBD results are not matching with ED results. We have decreased 'dt' and increased bond dimension and still the results did not match. Please note that for L = 6,7,9,10 (as shown in the L = 10 plot attached herewith), the TEBD and ED results match with each other at extremely short times but then the results diverge from each other. Apart from magnetization evolution, this trend is observed for half chain entanglement entropy as well.

We are not sure, why this is happening. We have attached our code for your reference. We do not know if we are missing any necessary steps.

Can you help us with the following situation?

Thanking you,
Best regards,
Anirban and Sagnik
