* Package name    : alps-applications1
  Version         : 1.2.2
  Upstream Author : Matthias Troyer et al.

  Description     : Algorithms and Libraries for Physics Simulations

The ALPS project (Algorithms and Libraries for Physics Simulations) is
an open source effort aiming at providing high-end simulation codes for
strongly correlated quantum mechanical systems as well as C++ libraries
for simplifying the development of such code. ALPS strives to increase
software reuse in the physics community.

 This package contains the applications (under the
 non-commercial/cite-me license):
  *  Classical Monte Carlo
    o The application spinmc simulates classical spin systems
      using local and cluster updates.
  * Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC)
    o The loop algorithm for quantum spin systems with inversion
      symmetry using loop-cluster updates (from ALPS/looper Library).
    o Stochastic series expansion (SSE) using the directed-loop algorithm
      for general quantum spin systems in magnetic fields or bosonic
      models.
    o The worm code for continuous time simulations of quantum spin
      and bosonic models based on the path integral representations.
    o The quantum Wang-Landau code for simulations of isotropic spin-1/2
      models based on the Wang-Landau sampling scheme.
  * Exact diagonalization
    o A full diagonalization program for generic quantum lattice models
    o An exact diagonalization program for boson and spin quantum lattice
      models
  * Density matrix renormalization group (DMRG)
    o "Particle in a box" program

distribute this license document.

This License applies to any software containing a notice placed by the copyright
holder saying that it may be distributed under the terms of the ALPS Application
License version 1.0.  Such software is herein referred to as the "Software".

The Software covered by this License may use portions or the whole of the
ALPS Library.  The ALPS Library is an independent work covered by its own
license.  This License is designed so that by complying with this License you
are automatically in compliance with the ALPS Library License for the Library
components of this Software.  However that the ALPS Library License may provide
for additional rights with respect to the Library portions of this Software,
which do not apply to this Software as a whole.

This license grants permission to use, reproduce, display, distribute, execute
and transmit the Software, and to prepare derivative works of the Software, and to
permit others to do so for non-commercial academic use, all subject to the
following conditions:

1. In any scientific publication based wholly or in part on the Software, the
use of the Software must be acknowledged and the publications listed in the
accompanying CITATIONS.txt document must be cited.

2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Software in the form that
you received it, as long as all copyright notices and references to this
license and warranty disclaimer are kept intact, and all recipients also receive
a copy of this license and warranty disclaimer.

3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Software, thus forming a work
based on the Software, and use, copy or distribute such modified works under
the terms of sections 1 and 2 above, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:

        a. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
        that you changed the files and the date of any change.

        b. All citations listed in the CITATIONS.txt document that refer to
        sections of the Software that exist in the modified work must be
        preserved irrespective of the extent of the modification.

        c. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
        whole or in part contains or is derived from the Software or any part
        thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
        under terms compatible with this License.

        d. You must cause all executable programs derived from this Software to
        print or display, when started in the most basic way, a prominent
        announcement including a copyright notice, citation requirements as
        listed in the accompanying CITATIONS.txt document, and a notice stating
        the date and scope of the modifications.
        Exception: if the announcement would not normally be visible to the
        user, or the announcement would interfere with normal operations of the
        executable application, then the executable program
        is not required to print an announcement.

        Whether this exception covers a modified work or not must be judged
        independently of whether the original Software displays such an
        announcement.

4. This Software, or modifications under section 3 above, may be distributed in
object code or executable form, provided that you meet all of these conditions:

        a. This complete License, warranty disclaimer and accompanying
        CITATIONS.txt document is included.

        a. The executable program is accompanied with the complete
        machine-readable source code to the Library as used in the executable,
        which must be distributed under the terms of sections 2 and 3 above.
        Alternatively, you may provide instructions for obtaining the source
        code at no cost (for example, a hyper-text link).

5. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Software into other programs whose
distribution conditions are incompatible with these, please write to the author
and ask for permission to use under a different license.  In particular,
components that are useful beyond a single application may benefit from the
ALPS Library License.
