SpinED

GitHub CI GitHub Release BSD-3-Clause license

User-friendly exact diagonalization package for quantum many-body systems.

🔧 Installing

We provide pre-built static executables for Linux. Go to Releases page and download the executable to your location of choice. That's it! 🥳

ℹ️ Note: executables are currently tagged by git commits from which they were built. It is suggested that after downloading the application you create a symbolic link to it:

ln --symbolic SpinED SpinED-8b0138b # the commit hash may differ in your case

📝 Usage

Using SpinED is quite simple. Just feed it your input yaml file. For example:

./SpinED my_system.yaml

where my_system.yaml looks like this:

basis:
  number_spins: 4
  symmetries: []
hamiltonian:
  name: "Heisenberg Hamiltonian"
  terms:
    - matrix: [[1,  0,  0,  0],
               [0, -1,  2,  0],
               [0,  2, -1,  0],
               [0,  0,  0,  1]]
      sites: [[0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 0]]
observables: []

This will create a file exact_diagonalization_result.h5 which will contain the ground state of the Hamiltonian.

$ h5dump -H exact_diagonalization_result.h5
HDF5 "exact_diagonalization_result.h5" {
GROUP "/" {
   GROUP "basis" {
      DATASET "representatives" {
         DATATYPE  H5T_STD_U64LE
         DATASPACE  SIMPLE { ( 16 ) / ( 16 ) }
      }
   }
   GROUP "hamiltonian" {
      DATASET "eigenvalues" {
         DATATYPE  H5T_IEEE_F64LE
         DATASPACE  SIMPLE { ( 1 ) / ( 1 ) }
      }
      DATASET "eigenvectors" {
         DATATYPE  H5T_IEEE_F64LE
         DATASPACE  SIMPLE { ( 16, 1 ) / ( 16, 1 ) }
      }
      DATASET "residuals" {
         DATATYPE  H5T_IEEE_F64LE
         DATASPACE  SIMPLE { ( 1 ) / ( 1 ) }
      }
   }
}
}

And we can check that it computed the correct energy:

$ h5dump -d /hamiltonian/eigenvalues exact_diagonalization_result.h5
HDF5 "exact_diagonalization_result.h5" {
DATASET "/hamiltonian/eigenvalues" {
   DATATYPE  H5T_IEEE_F64LE
   DATASPACE  SIMPLE { ( 1 ) / ( 1 ) }
   DATA {
   (0): -8
   }
}
}

This was a very simple example! Have a look at template.yaml which describes all supported fields. example/ folder also contains various usage examples.
