In this paper, we present a new set of applications, available as part of the ALPS package, that provide an efficient and flexible implementation of these methods based on a matrix-product state (MPS) representation. Our applications implement, within the same framework, algorithms to variationally find the ground state and low-lying excited states as well as simulate the time evolution of arbitrary one-dimensional and two-dimensional models. Implementing the conservation of quantum numbers for generic Abelian symmetries, we achieve performance competitive with the best codes in the community. Example results are provided for (i) a model of itinerant fermions in one dimension and (ii) a model of quantum magnetism.}, publisher = {North-Holland}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/matrix-product-state-applications-alps-project/}, pages = {3430-3440}, journal = {Computer Physics Communications}, volume = {185}, chapter = {12}, }
