PyTeNet
=======

.. doc-inclusion-marker1-start

`PyTeNet <https://github.com/cmendl/pytenet>`_ is a Python implementation of quantum
tensor network operations and simulations within the matrix product state framework,
using NumPy to handle tensors.

Example usage for TDVP time evolution:

.. code-block:: python

    import pytenet as ptn
    
    # number of lattice sites (1D with open boundary conditions)
    L = 10
    
    # construct matrix product operator representation of
    # Heisenberg XXZ Hamiltonian (arguments are L, J, \Delta, h)
    mpoH = ptn.heisenberg_XXZ_MPO(L, 1.0, 0.8, -0.1)
    mpoH.zero_qnumbers()
    
    # initial wavefunction as MPS with random entries
    # maximally allowed virtual bond dimensions
    D = [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 28, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1]
    psi = ptn.MPS(mpoH.qd, [Di*[0] for Di in D], fill='random')
    # effectively clamp virtual bond dimension of initial state
    Dinit = 8
    for i in range(L):
        psi.A[i][:, Dinit:, :] = 0
        psi.A[i][:, :, Dinit:] = 0
    psi.orthonormalize(mode='left')
    
    # time step can have both real and imaginary parts;
    # for real time evolution use purely imaginary dt!
    dt = 0.01 - 0.05j
    numsteps = 100
    
    # run TDVP time evolution
    ptn.integrate_local_singlesite(mpoH, psi, dt, numsteps, numiter_lanczos=5)
    # psi now stores the (approximated) time-evolved state exp(-dt*numsteps H) psi


Features
--------
- matrix product state and operator classes
- construct common Hamiltonians as MPOs, straightforward to adapt to custom Hamiltonians
- convert arbitrary operator chains to MPOs
- TDVP time evolution (real and imaginary)
- generate vector / matrix representations of matrix product states / operators
- Krylov subspace methods for local operations
- one-site local energy minimization using Lanczos iteration
- built-in support for additive quantum numbers


Installation
------------
To install PyTeNet from PyPI, call

.. code-block:: python

Contributing
------------
Feature requests, discussions and code contributions to PyTeNet in the form of
`pull requests <https://github.com/cmendl/pytenet/pulls>`_ are of course welcome.
Creating an `issue <https://github.com/cmendl/pytenet/issues>`_ might be a good starting point.
New code should be well documented (`Google style docstrings <https://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example_google.html>`_)
and unit-tested (see the `test/` subfolder).
