Asimmetry in trivial 2D expansion using TDVP

Post by tanahy »

Hello,

I am finding some issues in the time evolution calculation I am doing with TDVP, surely this is a matter of me using the library the wrong way, but I can't catch where. In principle, I have a Bose Hubbard model with hard-core bosons in a square lattice where we also include dipolar interactions up to next nearest neighbours. So the Hamiltonian looks like

\(\hat{H} = -t \sum_j (\hat{b}_j^\dagger \hat{b}_{j+1} + \mathrm{h.c.}) + V \sum_{<<i,j>>} \frac{1-3\cos\theta_{ij}}{r_{i,j}^3} \hat{n}_i \hat{n}_j \).

Then I define my initial state as a cluster of particles of size n x n in the center of the lattice. For example, a 3 x 3 cluster in the centre of a 9 x 9 lattice. I then do time evolution using TDVP and check the expansion in different directions in the lattice of this cloud. Turns out that with my current parameters, I see a preference for the system to expand faster in Y than in X, no matter what I choose for the dipole direction or the magnitude of V.

So I simplified the model and set V = 0 so that only the tunnelling term remains. I also set my initial state as a single particle in a 5x5 lattice. Turns out that if I set my trunc_cut to 10^-6, I see a discrepancy in the expansion radius and expansion velocity of the cloud. This can be perceived in the following animation in the first time steps. If I set trunc_cut to 10^-12, the discrepancy is much smaller.

The issue reappears for a larger system though. With the same parameters but a 3x3 cluster in an 11x11 lattice, I get a discrepancy in the expansion on X and Y. What am I doing wrong?

I attach some figures corresponding to the latest example and the script I'm using to calculate the results.

Re: Asimmetry in trivial 2D expansion using TDVP

Post by tanahy »

Ok, so I got confused and thought two-side TDVP was as resilient to long time-steps as one-site TDVP, which is not the case according to the documentation. Thus, I heavily reduced the time step and the expansion seems isotropic now!
The thing is, there is a peak (or peaks) in the total particle number at the first time steps still, which I guess is correlated with this issue of the system somehow preferring the bonds along the y-axis.
Is this an expected result in any way?

Best,
Tana

Re: Asimmetry in trivial 2D expansion using TDVP

Post by Johannes »

This reminds me of one of my first work on tensor networks, arXiv:1509.00696 - using back then new W_II method that we now have in the ExpMPOEvolution in TeNPy :-)

While the Hamiltonian is symmetric under exchange of x/y, the MPS snaking through the square lattice explicitly breaks it - hopping in y-direction is nearest-neighbor in the MPS, while x-direction hopping in the square lattice is long-range in the MPS (Ly-th nearest neighbor in the center).
Both 1- and 2-site TDVP approximate the exact time evolution by sequential left-right sweeps in the MPS, introducing an O(dt^2) error (similar to the trotter error in TEBD). The hopping in x-direction needs to happen by successively transporting a particle over the Ly-distance, which can be problematic if you truncate along the way.

Back then, we found that we can only reach a few hopping times before the truncation error became too large anyways. Thus, a smaller lattice was sufficient to capture the expansion; the particles couldn't reach the boundaries anyways. I would expect that a smaller Ly probably translates into a larger dt to still get accurate results, maybe you want to try that.

The particle number should be conserved by the evolution (since H commutes with sum_i n_i) - I see that you already tried to put conserve='N' in your model - I'd recommend that as well. if you calculate sum(psi.expectation_value('N')) you might still see it differ from the expected total N, as in you plot in the second post - that should come from the state not being in canonical form perfectly, but it's basically unaffected by the truncation error (at least if you conserve N). In other words, if you only check N(t) - N(t=0), you might vastly underestimate the error along the evolution...
