Renormalizer is a Python based tensor network package with a special focus on electron-phonon quantum dynamics.

Installation

Quickstart

from renormalizer import Mps, Mpo, Op, Model, BasisHalfSpin

# a two-spin system. 0 and 1 denote the label of the spin
basis = [BasisHalfSpin(0), BasisHalfSpin(1)]
# the Hamiltonian has two terms, \sigma^+_0 \sigma^-_1 + \sigma^+_1 \sigma^-_0
ham_terms = Op("sigma_+ sigma_-", [0, 1]) + Op("sigma_+ sigma_-", [1, 0])
# build our model
model = Model(basis, ham_terms)
# the initial state: the 0th spin at the [0, 1] state
# the 1th spin will by default at the [1, 0] state
mps = Mps.hartree_product_state(model, condition={0:[0, 1]})
# the Hamiltonian
mpo = Mpo(model)
# the operator to calculation expectation
z_op = Mpo(model, Op("Z", 0))
# perform the time evolution
for i in range(10):
    mps = mps.evolve(mpo, 0.05)
    print(mps.expectation(z_op))

Notice

Renormalizer relies on linear algebra libraries such as OpenBLAS or MKL for matrix operations. These libraries by default parallel over as many CPU cores as possible. However, we have found empirically that for calculations carried out in Renormalizer such parallelism has limited efficiency. More specifically, the computational wall time hardly decrease if more than 4 cores are used (see this paper).

[!IMPORTANT]
We highly recommend limiting the number of parallel CPU cores to 4 for large scale calculations and 1 for small scale tests

To do this, set the environment variable before running Python

export RENO_NUM_THREADS=1

which sets all environment variables for underlying linear algebra libraries, such as MKL_NUM_THREADS.

[!IMPORTANT]
After importing NumPy or Renormalizer, setting the environment variables will have no effect.

In fact, limiting the cores was once the default behavior of Renormalizer. It is later changed in this PR because Renormalizer is sometimes imported as a utility package.
