EDKit.jl

Julia package for general many-body exact diagonalization calculation. The package provides a general Hamiltonian constructing routine for specific symmetry sectors. The functionalities can be extended with user-defined bases.

Installation

Run the following script in the Julia Pkg REPL environment:

pkg> add EDKit

Alternatively, you can install EDKit directly from GitHub using the following script.

pkg> add https://github.com/jayren3996/EDKit.jl

This is useful if you want to access the latest version of EDKit, which includes new features not yet registered in the Julia Pkg system but may also contain bugs.

Examples

Instead of providing documentation, I have chosen to introduce the functionality of this package through practical calculation examples. You can find a collection of Jupyter notebooks in the examples folder, each showcasing various computations.

Here are a few basic examples:

XXZ Model with Random Field

Consider the Hamiltonian

H = \sum_i\left(\sigma_i^x \sigma^x_{i+1} + \sigma^y_i\sigma^y_{i+1} + h_i \sigma^z_i\sigma^z_{i+1}\right).

We choose the system size to be L=10. The Hamiltonian needs 3 pieces of information:

  1. Local operators represented by matrices;
  2. Site indices where each local operator acts on;
  3. Basis, if using the default tensor-product basis, only need to provide the system size.

The following script generates the information we need to generate XXZ Hamiltonian:

L = 10
mats = [
    fill(spin("XX"), L);
    fill(spin("YY"), L);
    [randn() * spin("ZZ") for i=1:L]
]
inds = [
    [[i, mod(i, L)+1] for i=1:L];
    [[i, mod(i, L)+1] for i=1:L];
    [[i, mod(i, L)+1] for i=1:L]
]
H = operator(mats, inds, L)

Then we can use the constructor operator to create Hamiltonian:

julia> H = operator(mats, inds, L)
Operator of size (1024, 1024) with 10 terms.

The constructor returns an Operator object, a linear operator that can act on vector/ matrix. For example, we can act H on the ferromagnetic state:

julia> ψ = zeros(2^L); ψ[1] = 1; H * random_state
1024-element Vector{Float64}:

If we need a matrix representation of the Hamitonian, we can convert H to julia array by:

julia> Array(H)
1024×1024 Matrix{Float64}:

  0.0      0.0       0.0       0.0        0.0      0.0       0.0

Or use the function sparse to create the sparse matrix (requires the module SparseArrays being imported):

julia> sparse(H)

Solving AKLT Model Using Symmetries

Consider the AKLT model

H = \sum_i\left[\vec S_i \cdot \vec S_{i+1} + \frac{1}{3}\left(\vec S_i \cdot \vec S_{i+1}\right)^2\right],

with the system size chosen to be L=8. The Hamiltonian operator for this translational-invariant Hamiltonian can be constructed using the trans_inv_operator function:

L = 8
SS = spin((1, "xx"), (1, "yy"), (1, "zz"), D=3)
mat = SS + 1/3 * SS^2
H = trans_inv_operator(mat, 1:2, L)

The second input specifies the indices the operators act on.

Because of the translational symmetry, we can simplify the problem by considering the symmetry. We construct a translational-symmetric basis by:

B = TranslationalBasis(L=8, k=0, base=3)

Here, L is the length of the system, and k labels the momentum k = 0,...,L-1 (integer multiplies of 2π/L). The function TranslationalBasis returns a basis object containing 834 states. We can obtain the Hamiltonian in this sector by:

julia> H = trans_inv_operator(mat, 1:2, B)
Operator of size (834, 834) with 8 terms.

In addition, we can take into account the total S^z conservation, by constructing the basis

B = TranslationalBasis(L=8, N=8, k=0, base=3)

where the N is the filling number with respect to the all-spin-down state. N=L means we select those states whose total Sz equals 0 (note that we use 0,1,2 to label the Sz=1,0,-1 states). This gives a further reduced Hamiltonian matrix:

julia> H = trans_inv_operator(mat, 1:2, B)
Operator of size (142, 142) with 8 terms.

We can go one step further by considering the spatial reflection symmetry.

B = TranslationParityBasis(L=8, N=0, k=0, p=1, base=3)

where the p argument is the parity p = ±1.

julia> H = trans_inv_operator(mat, 1:2, B)
Operator of size (84, 84) with 8 terms.

PXP Model and Entanglement Entropy

Consider the PXP model

H = \sum_i \left(P^0_{i-1} \sigma^x_i P^0_{i+1}\right).

Note that the model is defined on the Hilbert space where there is no local |↑↑⟩ configuration. For system size L=20 and in sector k=0,p=+1, the Hamiltonian is constructed by:

mat = begin
    P = [1 0; 0 0]
    kron(P, spin("X"), P)
end
pxpf(v::Vector{<:Integer}) = all(v[i]==0 || v[mod(i, length(v))+1]==0 for i=1:length(v))
basis = TranslationParityBasis(L=20, f=pxpf, k=0, p=1)
H = trans_inv_operator(mat, 3, basis)

where f argument is the selection function for the basis state that can be user-defined. We can then diagonalize the Hamiltonian. The bipartite entanglement entropy for each eigenstate can be computed by

vals, vecs = Array(H) |> Hermitian |> eigen
EE = [ent_S(vecs[:,i], 1:L÷2, basis) for i=1:size(basis,1)]
