Targeting specific eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a given Hamiltonian using arbitrary selection criteria
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for calculating some select eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of a given Hamiltonian. We show that it is possible to target the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of interest without diagonalizing the full Hamiltonian, by using any arbitrary physical property of the eigenvectors. This allows us to target, for example, the eigenvectors based on their localization properties ~e.g., states localized at a given surface or interface!. We also show that the method scales linearly with system size.

Boundary Effects in Non-uniform Spin Chains
We give an explicit comparison of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of XY Hamiltonians of an open linear spin-1/2 chain and a closed spin-1/2 ring with periodic in space coefficients. It is shown that the Hamiltonian of a k-periodic chain with nk − 1 sites has (n − 1)k multiplicity one eigenvalues which are eigenvalues of multiplicity two for a Hamiltonian of a k-periodic ring with 2kn sites. For th...

متن کاملEntanglement of Valence-Bond-Solid on an Arbitrary Graph
The Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) spin interacting model can be defined on an arbitrary graph. We explain the construction of the AKLT Hamiltonian. Given certain conditions, the ground state is unique and known as the Valence-BondSolid (VBS) state. It can be used in measurement-based quantum computation as a resource state instead of the cluster state. We study the VBS ground state on an a...

We implement a structure-preserving numerical algorithm for extracting the eigenvectors associated to the purely imaginary eigenvalues of skew-Hamiltonian/Hamiltonian matrix pencils. We compare the new algorithm with the QZ algorithm using random examples with di erent di culty. The results show that the new algorithm is signi cantly faster, more robust, and more accurate, especially for hard e...
متن کاملAn Example of Symmetry Exploitation for Energy-related Eigencomputations
One of the most used approaches in simulating materials is the tight-binding approximation. When using this method in a material simulation, it is necessary to compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian describing the system. In general, the system possesses few explicit symmetries. Due to them, the problem has many degenerate eigenvalues. The ambiguity in choosing a orthonorma...
