Abstract
Recent advancements have established tensor network states (TNS) as formidable tools for exploring the complex realm of strongly-correlated many-particle systems in both one and two dimensions. To tackle the challenges presented by strongly-correlated fermion systems, various fermion tensor network states (f-TNS) methodologies have been developed. However, implementing f-TNS methods poses substantial challenges due to their particularly complex nature, making development efforts significantly difficult. This complexity is further exacerbated by the lack of underlying software packages that facilitate the development of f-TNS. Previously, we developed TNSPackage, a software package designed for TNS methods [1]. Initially, this package was only capable of handling spin and boson models. To confront the challenges presented by f-TNS, TNSPackage has undergone significant enhancements in its latest version, incorporating support for both symmetry and fermion tensors. This updated version provides a uniform interface for the consistent management of tensors across boson, fermion, and various symmetry types, maintaining its user-friendly and versatile nature. This greatly facilitates the development of programs based on f-TNS. The new TNSP framework consists of two principal components: a low-level tensor package named TAT, which supports sophisticated tensor operations, and a high-level interface package called tetragono that is built upon TAT. The tetragono package is designed to significantly simplify the development of complex physical models on square lattices. The TNSPackage framework enables users to implement a wide range of physical models with greater ease, without the need to pay close attention to the underlying implementation details.
期刊介绍:
The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper.
Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP)
These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged.
Computational Physics Papers (CP)
These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines.
mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms;
computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and
algebraic computation.
Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
