+## Reading/Writing MPS or MPO To/From Disk
+* `writeToFile(string file_name, MPS psi)`
+
+  Write the MPS to a file. Both the [[SiteSet|classes/siteset]] and MPS need to be written. See the [[formulas|formulas/readwrite_mps]] for a concrete example.
+      
+* `readFromFile(string file_name, MPS psi)`
+
+  Read the MPS from a file. Both the [[SiteSet|classes/siteset]] and MPS need to be read. See the [[formulas|formulas/readwrite_mps]] for a concrete example.
+  
+* `.write(ostream & s)`
+
+  Write the MPS throw an ostream, which is useful to write multiple MPS/MPO into a single file. The example shows how to write two MPS to a file. Note that both the [[SiteSet|classes/siteset]], for example a [[SpinHalf|classes/spinhalf]], and the MPS need to be written.
