class tenpy.models.lattice.Ladder(L, sites, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: tenpy.models.lattice.Lattice

A ladder coupling two chains.

../_images/Ladder.png
Parameters
  • L (int) – The length of each chain, we have 2*L sites in total.

  • sites ((list of) Site) – The two local lattice sites making the unit_cell of the Lattice. If only a single Site is given, it is used for both chains.

  • **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments given to the Lattice. basis, pos and pairs are set accordingly.

property boundary_conditions

Human-readable list of boundary conditions from bc and bc_shift.

Returns

boundary_conditions – List of "open" or "periodic", one entry for each direction of the lattice.

Return type

list of str

count_neighbors(u=0, key='nearest_neighbors')[source]

Count e.g. the number of nearest neighbors for a site in the bulk.

Parameters
  • u (int) – Specifies the site in the unit cell, for which we should count the number of neighbors (or whatever key specifies).

  • key (str) – Key of pairs to select what to count.

Returns

number – Number of nearest neighbors (or whatever key specified) for the u-th site in the unit cell, somewhere in the bulk of the lattice. Note that it might not be the correct value at the edges of a lattice with open boundary conditions.

Return type

coupling_shape(dx)[source]

Calculate correct shape of the strengths for a coupling.

Parameters

dx (tuple of int) – Translation vector in the lattice for a coupling of two operators. Corresponds to dx argument of tenpy.models.model.CouplingModel.add_multi_coupling().

Returns

  • coupling_shape (tuple of int) – Len dim. The correct shape for an array specifying the coupling strength. lat_indices has only rows within this shape.

  • shift_lat_indices (array) – Translation vector from origin to the lower left corner of box spanned by dx.

enlarge_mps_unit_cell(factor=2)[source]

Parameters

factor (int) – The new number of sites in the MPS unit cell will be increased from N_sites to factor*N_sites_per_ring. Since MPS unit cells are repeated in the x-direction in our convetion, the lattice shape goes from (Lx, Ly, ..., Lu) to (Lx*factor, Ly, ..., Lu).

classmethod from_hdf5(hdf5_loader, h5gr, subpath)[source]

Load instance from a HDF5 file.

This method reconstructs a class instance from the data saved with save_hdf5().

Parameters

cls

lat2mps_idx(lat_idx)[source]

Translate lattice indices (x_0, ..., x_{D-1}, u) to MPS index i.

Parameters

lat_idx (array_like [.., dim+1]) – The last dimension corresponds to lattice indices (x_0, ..., x_{D-1}, u). All lattice indices should be positive and smaller than the corresponding entry in self.shape. Exception: for “infinite” bc_MPS, an x_0 outside indicates shifts accross the boundary.

Returns

i – MPS index/indices corresponding to lat_idx. Has the same shape as lat_idx without the last dimension.

Return type

array_like

mps2lat_idx(i)[source]

Translate MPS index i to lattice indices (x_0, ..., x_{dim-1}, u).

Parameters

i (int | array_like of int) – MPS index/indices.

Returns

lat_idx – First dimensions like i, last dimension has len dim`+1 and contains the lattice indices ``(x_0, …, x_{dim-1}, u)` corresponding to i. For i accross the MPS unit cell and “infinite” bc_MPS, we shift x_0 accordingly.

Return type

array

mps2lat_values(A, axes=0, u=None)[source]

Reshape/reorder A to replace an MPS index by lattice indices.

Parameters
  • A (ndarray) – Some values. Must have A.shape[axes] = self.N_sites if u is None, or A.shape[axes] = self.N_cells if u is an int.

  • axes ((iterable of) int) – chooses the axis which should be replaced.

  • u (None | int) – Optionally choose a subset of MPS indices present in the axes of A, namely the indices corresponding to self.unit_cell[u], as returned by mps_idx_fix_u(). The resulting array will not have the additional dimension(s) of u.

Returns

res_A – Reshaped and reordered verions of A. Such that MPS indices along the specified axes are replaced by lattice indices, i.e., if MPS index j maps to lattice site (x0, x1, x2), then res_A[..., x0, x1, x2, ...] = A[..., j, ...].

Return type

ndarray

Examples

Say you measure expection values of an onsite term for an MPS, which gives you an 1D array A, where A[i] is the expectation value of the site given by self.mps2lat_idx(i). Then this function gives you the expectation values ordered by the lattice:

>>> print(lat.shape, A.shape)
(10, 3, 2) (60,)
>>> A_res = lat.mps2lat_values(A)
>>> A_res.shape
(10, 3, 2)
>>> A_res[lat.mps2lat_idx(5)] == A[5]
True

If you have a correlation function C[i, j], it gets just slightly more complicated:

>>> print(lat.shape, C.shape)
(10, 3, 2) (60, 60)
>>> lat.mps2lat_values(C, axes=[0, 1]).shape
(10, 3, 2, 10, 3, 2)

If the unit cell consists of different physical sites, an onsite operator might be defined only on one of the sites in the unit cell. Then you can use mps_idx_fix_u() to get the indices of sites it is defined on, measure the operator on these sites, and use the argument u of this function.

>>> u = 0
>>> idx_subset = lat.mps_idx_fix_u(u)
>>> A_u = A[idx_subset]
>>> A_u_res = lat.mps2lat_values(A_u, u=u)
>>> A_u_res.shape
(10, 3)
>>> np.all(A_res[:, :, u] == A_u_res[:, :])
True

Todo

make sure this function is used for expectation values…

mps2lat_values_masked(A, axes=- 1, mps_inds=None, include_u=None)[source]

Parameters
  • A (ndarray) – Some values.

  • axes ((iterable of) int) – Chooses the axis of A which should be replaced. If multiple axes are given, you also need to give multiple index arrays as mps_inds.

  • mps_inds ((list of) 1D ndarray) – Specifies for each axis in axes, for which MPS indices we have values in the corresponding axis of A. Defaults to [np.arange(A.shape[ax]) for ax in axes]. For indices accross the MPS unit cell and “infinite” bc_MPS, we shift x_0 accordingly.

  • include_u ((list of) bool) – Specifies for each axis in axes, whether the u index of the lattice should be included into the output array res_A. Defaults to len(self.unit_cell) > 1.

Returns

res_A – Reshaped and reordered copy of A. Such that MPS indices along the specified axes are replaced by lattice indices, i.e., if MPS index j maps to lattice site (x0, x1, x2), then res_A[..., x0, x1, x2, ...] = A[..., mps_inds[j], ...].

property order

Defines an ordering of the lattice sites, thus mapping the lattice to a 1D chain.

Each row of the array contains the lattice indices for one site, the order of the rows thus specifies a path through the lattice, along which an MPS will wind through through the lattice.

You can visualize the order with plot_order().

ordering(order)[source]

Provide possible orderings of the N lattice sites.

This function can be overwritten by derived lattices to define additional orderings. The following orders are defined in this method:

order

equivalent priority

equivalent snake_winding

'Cstyle'

(0, 1, …, dim-1, dim)

(False, …, False, False)

'default'

'snake'

(0, 1, …, dim-1, dim)

(True, …, True, True)

'snakeCstyle'

'Fstyle'

(dim-1, …, 1, 0, dim)

(False, …, False, False)

'snakeFstyle'

(dim-1, …, 1, 0, dim)

(False, …, False, False)

Parameters

order (str | ('standard', snake_winding, priority) | ('grouped', groups)) – Specifies the desired ordering using one of the strings of the above tables. Alternatively, an ordering is specified by a tuple with first entry specifying a function, 'standard' for get_order() and 'grouped' for get_order_grouped(), and other arguments in the tuple as specified in the documentation of these functions.

Returns

order – the order to be used for order.

Return type

array, shape (N, D+1), dtype np.intp
