The Ising model

The one-dimensional Ising model with nearest neighbor interaction, no external field and a constant coupling constant \( J \) is given by $$ \begin{align} H = -J \sum_{k}^L s_k s_{k + 1}, \tag{21} \end{align} $$

where \( s_i \in \{-1, 1\} \) and \( s_{N + 1} = s_1 \). The number of spins in the system is determined by \( L \). For the one-dimensional system there is no phase transition.

We will look at a system of \( L = 40 \) spins with a coupling constant of \( J = 1 \). To get enough training data we will generate 10000 states with their respective energies.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import make_axes_locatable
import seaborn as sns
import scipy.linalg as scl
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
import tqdm
sns.set(color_codes=True)
cmap_args=dict(vmin=-1., vmax=1., cmap='seismic')

L = 40
n = int(1e4)

spins = np.random.choice([-1, 1], size=(n, L))
J = 1.0

energies = np.zeros(n)

for i in range(n):
    energies[i] = - J * np.dot(spins[i], np.roll(spins[i], 1))

Here we use ordinary least squares regression to predict the energy for the nearest neighbor one-dimensional Ising model on a ring, i.e., the endpoints wrap around. We will use linear regression to fit a value for the coupling constant to achieve this.
