> In the sampler and the hilbert space random state. We sample fractional coordinates, for this we need to go from standard to lattice basis back to standard but that's...

1. Yes but you specify periodic or minimum image when you construct Cell, not when you call Distance, in this way you completely separate the sampling and Hilbert from these...

I think there is no reasonable case in which you want to use two different distances within the same simulation Cell, that's why I think the Cell type should be...

sorry Gabriel but is it truly necessary to use two different distances? I would say one should be enough / is much nicer than using two different distances for the...

in any case, maybe it's more efficient to talk on zoom tomorrow or so

OK, not ideal, but then this is solved maybe specifying what type of distance you want, it's true that even in euclidean space you might want L1,L2... etc

Yes I think it's just a flag to be passed: `geo.Distance(R1,R2,type='L2')` etc

if you want the main problem is where the `type` flag is to be used. I think for the ansatz there is no problem since you will have an ansatz...

Sorry can you clarify why the exchange is not a symmetric move? I'm not sure I understand the reason of including the Hastings correction, unless what you are doing is...

But I don't understand the mathematical reason. The swap move is by definition symmetric, there should be no Hastings correction
