Build Status

Type for different kind of sites on different lattices.

Installation

pkg> add https://github.com/Roger-luo/LatticeSites.jl.git

Intro

This package provides types for sites, which defines the configuration of a lattice.

Binary configuration label is provided as:

  • Bit, refers to 0/1
  • Spin, refers to -1/+1
  • Half, refers to -0.5/+0.5
  • Clock, refers to the 2D q-state clock model with q discrete spin values (1:q)
  • Potts, refers to the standard Potts model with values -q, ..., q
  • Continuous, is in development still and not ready.

Array, StaticArray and etc. (e.g SparseArray) is supported for store configurations.

It is simple, and you can use it like a Number (but it is not a Number)

julia> rand(Bit{Float64})
0.0

julia> rand(Bit{Float64}, 2, 2)
2×2 Array{Bit{Float64},2}:
 0.0  0.0
 0.0  0.0

julia> using StaticArrays

julia> rand(SMatrix{2, 2, Bit{Int}})
2×2 SArray{Tuple{2,2},Bit{Int64},2,4}:
0  1
0  1

and to support indexing, you can convert any AbstractArray contains sites to an integer (as long as this integer type does not overflow).

julia> convert(Int, rand(SMatrix{2, 2, Bit{Int}}))
12

There is also a HilbertSpace iterator that help you iterate through the space.

julia> space = HilbertSpace{Bit{Int}}(2, 2)
HilbertSpace{Bit{Int64},Tuple{2,2},2,4}(Bit{Int64}[0 0; 0 0])

julia> collect(space)
16-element Array{Array{Bit{Int64},2},1}:
 [0 0; 0 0]
 [1 0; 0 0]
 [0 0; 1 0]
 [1 0; 1 0]
 [0 1; 0 0]
 [1 1; 0 0]
 [0 1; 1 0]
 [1 1; 1 0]
 [0 0; 0 1]
 [1 0; 0 1]
 [0 0; 1 1]
 [1 0; 1 1]
 [0 1; 0 1]
 [1 1; 0 1]
 [0 1; 1 1]
 [1 1; 1 1]

We use the convention that the first index a[1] take the first digit position during the convention, which is opposite to natural notation 0b0101, where the last digit in bit string take the first position.

In short

0b011 is equivalent to Bit[1, 1, 0]
