save_hdf5(hdf5_saver, h5gr, subpath)[source]

Export self into a HDF5 file.

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

Specifically, it saves sites, chinfo, max_range (under these names), _W as "tensors", IdL as "index_identity_left", IdR as "index_identity_right", and bc as "boundary_condition". Moreover, it saves L, explicit_plus_hc and grouped as HDF5 attributes, as well as the maximum of chi under the name max_bond_dimension.

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.

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
  • 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

classmethod from_grids(sites, grids, bc='finite', IdL=None, IdR=None, Ws_qtotal=None, legs=None, max_range=None, explicit_plus_hc=False)[source]

Initialize an MPO from grids.

Parameters
  • sites (list of Site) – Defines the local Hilbert space for each site.

  • grids (list of list of list of entries) – For each site (outer-most list) a matrix-grid (corresponding to wL, wR) with entries being or representing (see grid_insert_ops()) onsite-operators.

  • bc ({'finite' | 'segment' | 'infinite'}) – Boundary conditions as described in mps.

  • IdL ((iterable of) {int | None}) – Indices on the bonds, which correpond to ‘only identities to the left’. A single entry holds for all bonds.

  • IdR ((iterable of) {int | None}) – Indices on the bonds, which correpond to ‘only identities to the right’.

  • Ws_qtotal ((list of) total charge) – The qtotal to be used for each grid. Defaults to zero charges.

  • legs (list of LegCharge) – List of charges for ‘wL’ legs left of each W, L + 1 entries. The last entry should be the conjugate of the ‘wR’ leg, i.e. identical to legs[0] for ‘infinite’ bc. By default, determine the charges automatically. This is limited to cases where there are no “dangling open ends” in the MPO graph. (The MPOGraph can handle those cases, though.)

  • max_range (int | np.inf | None) – Maximum range of hopping/interactions (in unit of sites) of the MPO. None for unknown.

  • explicit_plus_hc (bool) – If True, the Hermitian conjugate of the MPO is computed at runtime, rather than saved in the MPO.

test_sanity()[source]

Sanity check, raises ValueErrors, if something is wrong.

property L

Number of physical sites; for an iMPO the len of the MPO unit cell.

property dim

List of local physical dimensions.

property finite

Distinguish MPO vs iMPO.

True for an MPO (bc='finite', 'segment'), False for an iMPO (bc='infinite').

get_W(i, copy=False)[source]

Return W at site i.

set_W(i, W)[source]

Set W at site i.

get_IdL(i)[source]

Return index of IdL at bond to the left of site i.

May be None.

get_IdR(i)[source]

Return index of IdR at bond to the right of site i.

May be None.

enlarge_mps_unit_cell(factor=2)[source]

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

Parameters

factor (int) – The new number of sites in the unit cell will be increased from L to factor*L.

group_sites(n=2, grouped_sites=None)[source]

Modify self inplace 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).

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

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

sort_legcharges()[source]

Sort virtual legs by charges. In place.

The MPO seen as matrix of the wL, wR legs is usually very sparse. This sparsity is captured by the LegCharges for these bonds not being sorted and bunched. This requires a tensordot to do more block-multiplications with smaller blocks. This is in general faster for large blocks, but might lead to a larger overhead for small blocks. Therefore, this function allows to sort the virtual legs by charges.

make_U(dt, approximation='II')[source]

Creates the U_I or U_II propagator.

Approximations of MPO exponentials following [Zaletel2015].

Parameters
  • dt (float|complex) – The time step per application of the propagator. Should be imaginary for real time evolution!

  • approximation ('I' | 'II') – Selects the approximation, make_U_I() ('I') or make_U_II() ('II').

Returns

U – The propagator, i.e. approximation \(U ~= exp(H*dt)\)

Return type

MPO

make_U_I(dt)[source]

Returns

Return type

expectation_value(psi, tol=1e-10, max_range=100)[source]

Calculate <psi|self|psi>/<psi|psi>.

For a finite MPS, simply contract the network <psi|self|psi>. For an infinite MPS, it assumes that self is the a of terms, with IdL and IdR defined on each site. Under this assumption, it calculates the expectation value of terms with the left-most non-trivial operator inside the MPO unit cell and returns the average value per site.

Parameters
  • psi (MPS) – State for which the expectation value should be taken.

  • tol (float) – Ignored for finite psi. For infinite MPO containing exponentially decaying long-range terms, stop evaluating further terms if the terms in LP have norm < tol.

  • max_range (int) – Ignored for finite psi. Contract at most self.L * max_range sites, even if tol is not reached. In that case, issue a warning.

Returns

exp_val – The expectation value of self with respect to the state psi. For an infinite MPS: the density per site.

Return type

float/complex

variance(psi, exp_val=None)[source]

Calculate <psi|self^2|psi> - <psi|self|psi>^2.

Works only for finite systems. Ignores the norm of psi.

Todo

This is a naive, expensive implementation contracting the full network. Try to follow arXiv:1711.01104 for a better estimate; would that even work in the infinite limit?

Parameters
  • psi (MPS) – State for which the variance should be taken.

  • exp_val (float/complex | None) – The result of <psi|self|psi> = self.expectation_value(psi) if known; otherwise obtained from expectation_value(). (Set this to 0 to obtain only the part <psi|self^2|psi>.)

dagger()[source]

Return hermition conjugate copy of self.

is_hermitian(eps=1e-10, max_range=None)[source]

Check if self is a hermitian MPO.

Shorthand for self.is_equal(self.dagger(), eps, max_range).

is_equal(other, eps=1e-10, max_range=None)[source]

Check if self and other represent the same MPO to precision eps.

To compare them efficiently we view self and other as MPS and compare the overlaps abs(<self|self> + <other|other> - 2 Re(<self|other>)) < eps*(<self|self>+<other|other>)

Parameters
  • other (MPO) – The MPO to compare to.

  • eps (float) – Precision threshold what counts as zero.

  • max_range (None | int) – Ignored for finite MPS; for finite MPS we consider only the terms contained in the sites with indices range(self.L + max_range). None defaults to max_range (or L in case this is infinite or None).

Returns

equal – Whether self equals other to the desired precision.

Return type

bool

apply(psi, options)[source]

Apply self to an MPS psi and compress psi in place.

Options

Parameters
  • psi (MPS) – The state to which self should be applied, in place.

  • options (dict) – See above.

apply_naively(psi)[source]

Applies an MPO to an MPS (in place) naively, without compression.

This function simply contracts the W tensors of the MPO to the B tensors of the MPS, resulting in an MPS with bond dimension self.chi * psi.chi.

Warning

This function sets only a wild guess for the new singular values. You should either compress the MPS or at least call canonical_form(). If you use apply() instead, this will be done automatically.

Parameters

psi (MPS) – The MPS to which self should be applied. Modified in place!

apply_zipup(psi, options)[source]

Applies an MPO to an MPS (in place) with the zip-up method.

Described in Ref. [Stoudenmire2010].

The ‘W’ tensors are contracted to the ‘B’ tensors with intermediate SVD compressions, truncated to bond dimensions chi_max * m_temp.

Warning

The MPS afterwards is only approximately in canonical form (under the assumption that self is close to unity). You should either compress the MPS or at least call canonical_form(). If you use apply() instead, this will be done automatically.

Parameters
  • psi (MPS) – The MPS to which self should be applied. Modified in place!

  • trunc_params (dict) – Truncation parameters as described in truncation.
