Parallelization strategies for density matrix renormalization group algorithms on shared-memory systems
2003
Shared-memory parallelization (SMP) strategies for density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithms enable the treatment of complex systems in solid state physics. We present two different approaches by which parallelization of the standard DMRG algorithm can be accomplished in an efficient way. The methods are illustrated with DMRG calculations of the two-dimensional Hubbard model and the one-dimensional Holstein-Hubbard model on contemporary SMP architectures. The parallelized code shows good scalability up to at least eight processors and allows us to solve problems which exceed the capability of sequential DMRG calculations.
Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov pairing in one-dimensional optical lattices
2008
Spin-polarized attractive Fermi gases in one-dimensional (1D) optical lattices are expected to be remarkably good candidates for the observation of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phase. We model these systems with an attractive Hubbard model with population imbalance. By means of the density-matrix renormalization-group method, we compute the pairing correlations as well as the static spin and charge structure factors in the whole range from weak to strong coupling. We demonstrate that pairing correlations exhibit quasi-long-range order and oscillations at the wave number expected from the FFLO theory. However, we also show by numerically computing the mixed spin-charge static …
Supersolid-superfluid phase separation in the extended Bose-Hubbard model
2021
Recent studies have suggested a new phase in the extended Bose-Hubbard model in one dimension at integer filling [1,2]. In this work, we show that this new phase is phase-separated into a supersolid and superfluid part, generated by mechanical instability. Numerical simulations are performed by means of the density matrix renormalization group algorithm in terms of matrix product states. In the phase-separated phase and the adjacent homogeneous superfluid and supersolid phases, we find peculiar spatial patterns in the entanglement spectrum and string-order correlation functions and show that they survive in the thermodynamic limit. In particular, we demonstrate that the elementary excitatio…
Exact Numerical Treatment of Finite Quantum Systems Using Leading-Edge Supercomputers
2005
Using exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group techniques a finite-size scaling study in the context of the Peierls-insulator Mott-insulator transition is presented. Program implementation on modern supercomputers and performance aspects are discussed.
Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov solution of the pairing Hamiltonian in finite nuclei
2013
We present an overview of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory of nucleonic superfluidity for finite nuclei. After introducing basic concepts related to pairing correlations, we show how the correlated pairs are incorporated into the HFB wave function. Thereafter, we present derivation and structure of the HFB equations within the superfluid nuclear density functional formalism and discuss several aspects of the theory, including the unitarity of the Bogoliubov transformation in truncated single-particle and quasiparticle spaces, form of the pairing functional, structure of the HFB continuum, regularization and renormalization of pairing fields, and treatment of pairing in systems with …
Phase transitions in polymer blends and block copolymer melts: Some recent developments
2005
The classical concepts about unmixing of polymer blends (Flory-Huggins theory) and about mesophase ordering in block copolymers (Leibler's theory) are briefly reviewed and their validity is discussed in the light of recent experiments, computer simulations and other theoretical concepts. It is emphasized that close to the critical point of unmixing non-classical critical exponents of the Ising universality class are observed, in contrast to the classical mean-field exponents implied by the Flory-Huggins theory. The temperature range of this non-mean-field behavior can be understood by Ginzburg criteria. The latter are also useful to discuss the conditions under which the linearized (Cahn-li…
First-principles phonon calculations of Fe4+impurity in SrTiO3
2012
The results of hybrid density functional theory calculations on phonons in Sr(Fe(x)Ti(1-x))O(3) solid solution within the formalism of a linear combination of atomic orbitals are presented. The phonon density of states (DOS) calculated for 6.25% Fe(4+) impurities is reported and defect-induced phonon modes are identified. Based on our calculations and group-theoretical analysis, we suggest for the first time an interpretation of experimentally observed Raman- and IR-active modes.
Functional consequences of prey acclimation to ocean acidification for the prey and its predator
2016
Ocean acidification is the suite of chemical changes to the carbonate system of seawater as a consequence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Despite a growing body of evidences demonstrating the negative effects of ocean acidification on marine species, the consequences at the ecosystem level are still unclear. One factor limiting our ability to upscale from species to ecosystem is the poor mechanistic understanding of the functional consequences of the observed effects on organisms. This is particularly true in the context of species interactions. The aim of this work was to investigate the functional consequence of the exposure of a prey (the mussel Brachidontes pharaonis) t…
Le travail, au-delà de l'évaluation : normes et résistances
2018
National audience; Certains milieux de travail connaissent une véritable inflation des normes. Leurs finalités sont multiples : instaurer de la transparence, garantir au « client » un service de qualité, orienter et contrôler les comportements, responsabiliser les acteurs et les inciter à « l'excellence », mieux évaluer le personnel. En constituant un véritable corset, voire un carcan, ces normes peuvent empêcher les salariés de réaliser un travail de qualité, être une source de démotivation - voire de souffrance au travail - et fragiliser les collectifs de travail en place. Elles peuvent aussi générer des actions de résistance, individuelles et/ou collectives. Damien Collard invite le lect…
Transferability of Deep Learning Algorithms for Malignancy Detection in Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy Images from Different Anatomical Locations of t…
2019
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is the most common cancer type of the epithelium and is often detected at a late stage. Besides invasive diagnosis of SCC by means of biopsy and histo-pathologic assessment, Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) has emerged as noninvasive method that was successfully used to diagnose SCC in vivo. For interpretation of CLE images, however, extensive training is required, which limits its applicability and use in clinical practice of the method. To aid diagnosis of SCC in a broader scope, automatic detection methods have been proposed. This work compares two methods with regard to their applicability in a transfer learning sense, i.e. training on one tissue type (f…
