Class Attributes and Properties

SpinHalfSite.dim

Dimension of the local Hilbert space.

SpinHalfSite.onsite_ops

Dictionary of on-site operators for iteration.

class tenpy.networks.site.SpinHalfSite(conserve='Sz')[source]

Bases: tenpy.networks.site.Site

Spin-1/2 site.

Local states are up (0) and down (1). Local operators are the usual spin-1/2 operators, e.g. Sz = [[0.5, 0.], [0., -0.5]], Sx = 0.5*sigma_x for the Pauli matrix sigma_x.

Sx, Sy, Sz

Type

add_op(name, op, need_JW=False, hc=None)[source]

Add one on-site operators.

Parameters
  • name (str) – A valid python variable name, used to label the operator. The name under which op is added as attribute to self.

  • op (np.ndarray | Array) – A matrix acting on the local hilbert space representing the local operator. Dense numpy arrays are automatically converted to Array. LegCharges have to be [leg, leg.conj()]. We set labels 'p', 'p*'.

  • need_JW (bool) – Whether the operator needs a Jordan-Wigner string. If True, add name to need_JW_string.

  • hc (None | False | str) – The name for the hermitian conjugate operator, to be used for hc_ops. By default (None), try to auto-determine it. If False, disable adding antries to hc_ops.

change_charge(new_leg_charge=None, permute=None)[source]

Change the charges of the site (in place).

Parameters
  • new_leg_charge (LegCharge | None) – The new charges to be used. If None, use trivial charges.

  • permute (ndarray | None) – The permuation applied to the physical leg, which gets used to adjust state_labels and perm. If you sorted the previous leg with perm_qind, new_leg_charge = leg.sort(), use old_leg.perm_flat_from_perm_qind(perm_qind). Ignored if None.

property dim

Dimension of the local Hilbert space.

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

get_hc_op_name(name)[source]

Return the hermitian conjugate of a given operator.

Parameters

name (str) – The name of the operator to be returned. Multiple operators separated by whitespace are interpreted as an operator product, exactly as get_op() does.

Returns

hc_op_name – Operator name for the hermi such that get_op() of

Return type

str

get_op(name)[source]

Return operator of given name.

Parameters

name (str) – The name of the operator to be returned. In case of multiple operator names separated by whitespace, we multiply them together to a single on-site operator (with the one on the right acting first).

Returns

op – The operator given by name, with labels 'p', 'p*'. If name already was an npc Array, it’s directly returned.

Return type

np_conserved

multiply_op_names(names)[source]

Multiply operator names together.

Join the operator names in names such that get_op returns the product of the corresponding operators.

Parameters

names (list of str) – List of valid operator labels.

Returns

combined_opname – A valid operator name Operatorname representing the product of operators in names.

Return type

str

property onsite_ops

Dictionary of on-site operators for iteration.

Single operators are accessible as attributes.

op_needs_JW(name)[source]

Whether an (composite) onsite operator is fermionic and needs a Jordan-Wigner string.

Parameters

name (str) – The name of the operator, as in get_op().

Returns

needs_JW – Whether the operator needs a Jordan-Wigner string, judging from need_JW_string.

Return type

bool

remove_op(name)[source]

Remove an added operator.

Parameters

name (str) – The name of the operator to be removed.

rename_op(old_name, new_name)[source]

Rename an added operator.

Parameters

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().

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.
