name: dqmc-analyze description: Extract physical observables with error estimates from completed DQMC simulations. Use when computing density, double occupancy, spin correlations, structure factors, or any measured quantity from simulation data.

Analyze Results

Inputs

• Directory containing bin_*.h5 files (completed simulations)
• Observable names (see table below)

Outputs

• Dictionary with parameters and (mean, stderr) tuples for each observable

Procedure

Basic analysis:

from dqmc_util import analyze_hub

data = analyze_hub.get("data/run/", "sign", "den", "zzr")

print(f"sign = {data['sign'][0]:.4f} +/- {data['sign'][1]:.4f}")
print(f"density = {data['den'][0]:.4f} +/- {data['den'][1]:.4f}")

Available observables:

| Name | Description | Requires | |------|-------------|----------| | sign | Fermion sign | - | | den | Density <n> | - | | docc | Double occupancy <n_up n_down> | - | | gr, gk | Green's function (real/k-space) | - | | nnr, nnq | Density correlator / structure factor | - | | zzr, zzq | Spin-z correlator / structure factor | - | | xxr | Spin-x correlator | - | | swq0 | S-wave pair structure factor | - | | nnrw0, zzrw0 | Zero-freq susceptibilities | period_uneqlt > 0 | | dwq0t | D-wave pair susceptibility | period_uneqlt > 0 |

Collect from multiple directories:

import os

def collect_results(base_dir, observables):
    results = []
    for subdir in sorted(os.listdir(base_dir)):
        path = os.path.join(base_dir, subdir)
        if os.path.isdir(path):
            try:
                results.append(analyze_hub.get(path + "/", *observables))
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"Skipping {path}: {e}")
    return results

Compute derived quantities:

# Magnetic moment squared from spin correlator
path = "data/run/"
data = analyze_hub.get(path, "zzr")
mz2 = 4 * data["zzr"][0][0, 0]       # [0] = mean, shape (Ny, Nx)
mz2_err = 4 * data["zzr"][1][0, 0]   # [1] = stderr

Validation

• [ ] Errorbar on sign is significantly less than mean. Otherwise, sign problem is too severe.
• [ ] Errorbars on observable are reasonable (not >> mean)

Failure Modes

| Symptom | Cause | Recovery | |---------|-------|----------| | KeyError for observable | Observable not computed | Check period_uneqlt setting | | "No files found" | Wrong path or no bin_*.h5 | Verify directory structure | | Large error bars | Insufficient statistics | Run more sweeps or bins |
