stringebraic 0.0.4

String-based Pauli algebraic manipulations

stringebraic

love manually cleaning up messy .bib files? stringebraic.py heroically steps in to remove those lazy, unused citations and reorder the survivors exactly as they appear in the .tex file—because, clearly, chaos is the default setting for bibliographies.

In layman's terms, it automates Pauli algebra management by:

1. removing unused citations,
2. reordering the remaining ones to match their order of appearance in the .tex file.

Input Files:

• input_string_list.pkl – The LaTeX source file.
• input_string_coeff_list.pkl – The original Pauli algebra file.
• pauli_matrix_list.pkl – The original Pauli algebra file.
• pauli_coeff_list.pkl – The original Pauli algebra file.

These input files will remain unchanged.

Output:

• The inner product value – A scalar for what the inner product (e.g., expected energy) is.

Installation

It can be installed with pip, ideally by using a virtual environment. Open up a terminal and install the package and the dependencies with:

    pip install stringebraic

or

    python -m pip install stringebraic

🐍 This requires Python 3.8 or newer versions

Steps to Clean Your Pauli algebra

1. Prepare the input files (e.g., by downloading them from Overleaf).

2. Run the command to generate a new .bib file (for example, you may name it ref_opt.bib):

          bibopt main.tex ref.bib ref_opt.bib

3. Use the Cleaned Pauli Algebra
   Replace ref.bib with ref_opt.bib in your LaTeX project.

Test

You may test the installation using the sample input files (sample_main.tex and sample_ref.bib) located in the test folder.
