matrix product representation library

Project description

[MPNUM]

A matrix product representation library for Python

mpnum is a flexible, user-friendly, and expandable toolbox for the matrix product state/tensor train tensor format. mpnum provides:

  • support for well-known matrix product representations, such as:

  • matrix product states (MPS), also known as tensor trains (TT)

  • matrix product operators (MPO)

  • local purification matrix product states (PMPS)

  • arbitrary matrix product arrays (MPA)

  • arithmetic operations: addition, multiplication, contraction etc.

  • compression, canonical forms, etc.

  • finding extremal eigenvalues and eigenvectors of MPOs (DMRG)

  • flexible tools for new matrix product algorithms

To install the latest stable version run

pip install mpnum

If you want to install mpnum from source, please run (on Unix)

git clone https://github.com/dseuss/mpnum.git cd mpnum pip install .

In order to run the tests and build the documentation, you have to install the development dependencies via

pip install -r requirements.txt
