Methods

Model.__init__(lattice)	Initialize self.
Model.enlarge_mps_unit_cell([factor])	Repeat the unit cell for infinite MPS boundary conditions; in place.
Model.from_hdf5(hdf5_loader, h5gr, subpath)	Load instance from a HDF5 file.
Model.group_sites([n, grouped_sites])	Modify self in place to group sites.
Model.save_hdf5(hdf5_saver, h5gr, subpath)	Export self into a HDF5 file.

class tenpy.models.model.Model(lattice)

Bases: tenpy.tools.hdf5_io.Hdf5Exportable

Base class for all models.

The common base to all models is the underlying Hilbert space and geometry, specified by a Lattice.

Parameters

lattice (Lattice) – The lattice defining the geometry and the local Hilbert space(s).

lat

The lattice defining the geometry and the local Hilbert space(s).

Type

Lattice

enlarge_mps_unit_cell(factor=2)

Repeat the unit cell for infinite MPS boundary conditions; in place.

This has to be done after finishing initialization and can not be reverted.

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).

group_sites(n=2, grouped_sites=None)

Modify self in place to group sites.

Group each n sites together using the GroupedSite. This might allow to do TEBD with a Trotter decomposition, or help the convergence of DMRG (in case of too long range interactions).

This has to be done after finishing initialization and can not be reverted.

Parameters

• n (int) – Number of sites to be grouped together.

• grouped_sites (None | list of GroupedSite) – The sites grouped together.

Returns

grouped_sites – The sites grouped together.

Return type

list of GroupedSite

classmethod from_hdf5(hdf5_loader, h5gr, subpath)

Load instance from a HDF5 file.

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

Parameters

• hdf5_loader (Hdf5Loader) – Instance of the loading engine.

• h5gr (Group) – HDF5 group which is represent the object to be constructed.

• subpath (str) – The name of h5gr with a '/' in the end.

Returns

obj – Newly generated class instance containing the required data.

Return type

cls

save_hdf5(hdf5_saver, h5gr, subpath)

Export self into a HDF5 file.

This method saves all the data it needs to reconstruct self with from_hdf5().

This implementation saves the content of __dict__ with save_dict_content(), storing the format under the attribute 'format'.

Parameters

• hdf5_saver (Hdf5Saver) – Instance of the saving engine.

• h5gr (:class`Group`) – HDF5 group which is supposed to represent self.

• subpath (str) – The name of h5gr with a '/' in the end.
