Pyqcm: An open-source Python library for quantum cluster methods
Pyqcm is a Python/C++ library that implements a few quantum cluster methods
with an exact diagonalization impurity solver. Quantum cluster methods are used
in the study of strongly correlated electrons to provide an approximate
solution to Hubbard-like models. The methods covered by this library are
Cluster Perturbation Theory (CPT), the Variational Cluster Approach (VCA) and
Cellular (or Cluster) Dynamical Mean Field Theory (CDMFT). The impurity solver
(the technique used to compute the cluster's interacting Green function) is
exact diagonalization from sparse matrices, using the Lanczos algorithm and
variants thereof. The core library is written in C++ for performance, but the
interface is in Python, for ease of use and inter-operability with the
numerical Python ecosystem. The library is distributed under the GPL license.Comment: Submission to SciPost. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap
