Class Attributes and Properties

MPOGraph.L

Number of physical sites; for infinite boundaries the length of the unit cell.

class tenpy.networks.mpo.MPOGraph(sites, bc='finite', max_range=None)

Bases: object

Representation of an MPO by a graph, based on a ‘finite state machine’.

This representation is used for building H_MPO from the interactions. The idea is to view the MPO as a kind of ‘finite state machine’. The states or keys of this finite state machine life on the MPO bonds between the Ws. They label the indices of the virtual bonds of the MPOs, i.e., the indices on legs wL and wR. They can be anything hash-able like a str, int or a tuple of them.

The edges of the graph are the entries W[keyL, keyR], which itself are onsite operators on the local Hilbert space. The indices keyL and keyR correspond to the legs 'wL', 'wR' of the MPO. The entry W[keyL, keyR] connects the state keyL on bond (i-1, i) with the state keyR on bond (i, i+1).

The keys 'IdR' (for ‘identity left’) and 'IdR' (for ‘identity right’) are reserved to represent only 'Id' (=identity) operators to the left and right of the bond, respectively.

Todo

might be useful to add a “cleanup” function which removes operators cancelling each other and/or unused states. Or better use a ‘compress’ of the MPO?

Parameters:

• sites (list of Site) – Local sites of the Hilbert space.

• bc ({'finite', 'infinite'}) – MPO boundary conditions.

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

• sites (list of Site) – Local sites of the Hilbert space.

• bc ('finite' | 'infinite') – MPO boundary conditions.

property L

add(i, keyL, keyR, opname, strength, check_op=True, skip_existing=False)

Insert an edge into the graph.

Parameters:

• i (int) – Site index at which the edge of the graph is to be inserted.

• keyL (hashable) – The state at bond (i-1, i) to connect from.

• keyR (hashable) – The state at bond (i, i+1) to connect to.

• opname (str) – Name of the operator.

• strength (str) – Prefactor of the operator to be inserted.

• check_op (bool) – Whether to check that ‘opname’ exists on the given site.

• skip_existing (bool) – If True, skip adding the graph node if it exists (with same keys and opname).

add_string_left_to_right(i, j, key, opname='Id', check_op=True, skip_existing=True)

Insert a bunch of edges for an ‘operator string’ into the graph.

Terms like \(S^z_i S^z_j\) actually stand for \(S^z_i \otimes \prod_{i < k < j} \mathbb{1}_k \otimes S^z_j\). This function adds the \(\mathbb{1}\) terms to the graph.

Parameters:

• i (int) – An edge is inserted on all sites between i and j, i < j. j can be larger than L, in which case the operators are supposed to act on different MPS unit cells.

• j (int) – An edge is inserted on all sites between i and j, i < j. j can be larger than L, in which case the operators are supposed to act on different MPS unit cells.

• key (tuple) – The key at bond (i+1, i) to connect from.

• opname (str) – Name of the operator to be used for the string. Useful for the Jordan-Wigner transformation to fermions.

• skip_existing (bool) – Whether existing graph nodes should be skipped.

Returns:

key_i – The key on the right of site i we connected to.

Return type:

tuple

add_string_right_to_left(j, i, key, opname='Id', check_op=True, skip_existing=True)

Insert a bunch of edges for an ‘operator string’ into the graph.

Similar as add_string_left_to_right(), but in the other direction.

Parameters:

• j (int) – An edge is inserted on all sites between i and j, i < j. Note the switched argument order compared to add_string_left_to_right().

• i (int) – An edge is inserted on all sites between i and j, i < j. Note the switched argument order compared to add_string_left_to_right().

• key (tuple) – The key at bond (j-1, j) to connect from.

• opname (str) – Name of the operator to be used for the string. Useful for the Jordan-Wigner transformation to fermions.

• skip_existing (bool) – Whether existing graph nodes should be skipped.

Returns:

key_i – The key on the right of site i we connected to.

Return type:

hashable

add_missing_IdL_IdR(insert_all_id=True)

Add missing identity (‘Id’) edges connecting 'IdL'->'IdL' and ``'IdR'->'IdR'.

This function should be called after all other operators have been inserted.

Parameters:

insert_all_id (bool) – If True, insert ‘Id’ edges on all bonds. If False and boundary conditions are finite, only insert 'IdL'->'IdL' to the left of the rightmost existing ‘IdL’ and 'IdR'->'IdR' to the right of the leftmost existing ‘IdR’. The latter avoid “dead ends” in the MPO, but some functions (like make_WI) expect ‘IdL’/’IdR’ to exist on all bonds.

has_edge(i, keyL, keyR)

True if there is an edge from keyL on bond (i-1, i) to keyR on bond (i, i+1).

build_MPO(Ws_qtotal=None)

Build the MPO represented by the graph (self).

Parameters:

Ws_qtotal (None | (list of) charges) – The qtotal for each of the Ws to be generated, default (None) means 0 charge. A single qtotal holds for each site.

Returns:

mpo – the MPO which self represents.

Return type:

MPO
