Exact Diagonalization of Interacting Time-dependent Hamiltonians (in PYthon And Fortran)

EDITH

Description

EDITH (PYAF) stands for Exact Diagonalization of Interacting Time-dependent Hamiltonians (in PYthon And Fortran). For now it is a collection of python modules used to calculate the spectral and dynamical properties of many-body Hamiltonians describing quantum systems on a lattice. One long-term goal is to rewrite the core diagonalization routines in Fortran to make them faster and lighter. Currently, EDITH supports the exact diagonalization of the following models:

• Ising model in a transverse field
• Heisenberg model in a staggered field
• Hubbard model
• Dipolar Aubry-Andre model

Installation

Currently EDITH can be downloaded from PyPI via pip, e.g. with

python3 -m pip install edith-pyaf

Alternatively, you can download the source from the repository (it is just a collection of python modules). The module can then be executed directly.

Usage

To use EDITH after installation:

1. Copy the template input file: python3 edith_pyaf.initialize.py
2. Configure the input file (input.dat) with the parameters of your system.
3. Execute EDITH: python3 edith_pyaf.run.py

Roadmap

Short term goals:

• Python packaging.
• Simple GUI.

Medium term goals:

• Extending code to non-Hermitian systems.
• Extending diagonalization to Liouvillians (open quantum systems).
• Extending code to time-dependent Hamiltonians.

Long term goals:

• Rewriting core in Fortran.
• Enabling execution on HPC facilities with MPI.
