align_norm(other, ret_index=False)

Align other.state with the site-norms for this state, a copy of other is returned with re-ordered states

To determine the new ordering of other we first calculate the residual norm of the site-norms.

\[\delta N_{\alpha\beta} = \sum_i \big(\langle \psi^\alpha_i | \psi^\alpha_i\rangle - \langle \psi^\beta_i | \psi^\beta_i\rangle\big)^2\]

where \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) correspond to state indices in self and other, respectively. The new states (from other) returned is then ordered such that the index \(\alpha \equiv \beta'\) where \(\delta N_{\alpha\beta}\) is smallest.

Parameters
  • other (State) – the other state to align onto this state

  • ret_index (bool, optional) – also return indices for the swapped indices

Returns

  • other_swap (State) – A swapped instance of other

  • index (array of int) – the indices that swaps other to be other_swap, i.e. other_swap = other.sub(index)

Notes

The input state and output state have the same states, but their ordering is not necessarily the same.

See also

align_phase

rotate states such that their phases align

align_phase(other, copy=False)

Align other.state with the phases for this state, a copy of other is returned with rotated elements

States will be rotated by \(\pi\) provided the phase difference between the states are above \(|\Delta\theta| > \pi/2\).

Parameters
  • other (State) – the other state to align onto this state

  • copy (bool, optional) – sometimes no states require rotation, if this is the case this flag determines whether other will be copied or not

align_norm

re-order states such that site-norms have a smaller residual

inner(right=None, diagonal=True, align=False)

Return the inner product as \(\mathbf M_{ij} = \langle\psi_i|\psi'_j\rangle\)

Parameters
  • right (State, optional) – the right object to calculate the inner product with, if not passed it will do the inner product with itself. This object will always be the left \(\langle\psi_i|\)

  • diagonal (bool, optional) – only return the diagonal matrix \(\mathbf M_{ii}\).

Notes

This does not take into account a possible overlap matrix when non-orthogonal basis sets are used.

Return type

Parameters

asarray (bool, optional) – if true the yielded values are the state vectors, i.e. a numpy array. Otherwise an equivalent object is yielded.

Returns

Return type

numpy.ndarray

norm2(sum=True)

Return a vector with the norm of each state \(\langle\psi|\psi\rangle\)

Returns

the squared norm for each state

Return type

numpy.ndarray

normalize()[source]

Return a normalized state where each state has \(|\psi|^2=1\)

This is roughly equivalent to:

>>> state = StateC(np.arange(10), 1)
>>> n = state.norm()
>>> norm_state = StateC(state.state / n.reshape(-1, 1), state.c.copy())
>>> norm_state.c[0] == 1

phase(method='max', return_indices=False)

Calculate the Euler angle (phase) for the elements of the state, in the range \(]-\pi;\pi]\)

Parameters
  • method ({'max', 'all'}) – for max, the phase for the element which has the largest absolute magnitude is returned, for all, all phases are calculated

  • return_indices (bool, optional) – return indices for the elements used when method=='max'

rotate(phi=0.0, individual=False)

Rotate all states (in-place) to rotate the largest component to be along the angle phi

The states will be rotated according to:

\[S' = S / S^\dagger_{\phi-\mathrm{max}} \exp (i \phi),\]

where \(S^\dagger_{\phi-\mathrm{max}}\) is the phase of the component with the largest amplitude and \(\phi\) is the angle to align on.

Parameters
  • phi (float, optional) – angle to align the state at (in radians), 0 is the positive real axis

  • individual (bool, optional) – whether the rotation is per state, or a single maximum component is chosen.
