randomTensor uses the function Global::random() provided with ITensor to generate random numbers. This function optionally takes a "seed" argument, and if you reset this seed it will generate the same sequence of numbers again after the reset. To do this, just call Global::random(seed) where seed is an integer of your choosing. Hope that helps -

Formatting Tips:
  • To format code, indent by four spaces
  • To format inline LaTeX, surround it by @@ on both sides
  • To format LaTeX on its own line, surround it by $$ above and below
  • For LaTeX, it may be necessary to backslash-escape underscore characters to obtain proper formatting. So for example writing \sum\_i to represent a sum over i.
