exact diagonalization

• Python and Julia codes of exact diagonalization

• Use sparse matrices

• Sz conserved / Sz nonconserved

• Sz conserved case: algorithm based on titpack2 and HPhi

  • Use the snoob function for finding the next higher number after a given number that has the same number of 1-bits (down spins)

    • See Hacker's Delight Hacker's Delight (web archive)

    • See also HPhi tips HPhi tips (mirror)

    • For related bitwise operations, see Count bits Anothr count bits

  • Use two-dimensional search

    • See DOI:10.1103/PhysRevB.42.6561

    • See also manual of titpack2 (en) manual of titpack2 (jp)

  • Without generating matrix elements to save memory (test version, not so efficient...)

    • Use scipy.sparse.linalg.LinearOperator for Python

    • Use LinearMap for Julia

    • Use a bisectional search instead of making a 2D search list
    • Implementation may be easier with momentum conservation
