Representability

Representability is a library to work with linearly constrained mathematical programs over tensors.

It was designed as an easy to use framework for expressing semidefinite programs associated with varitional 2-RDM calculations.

At it's core, Representability is a collection of objects for Tensors and MultiTensor along with a methodology for building dual basis elements (linear relationships between elements of the tensors).

Features of Tensor()

  • A general tensor object. Holds data without having to subclass numpy array.

  • Has an associated basis which is a bijection from indices to tensor indexing. For example, a simple bijection might be the the {index:index} map. Another might be a {tuple: index} map where the tuple is some spin-adapted-geminal basis index. This is especially useful in the Fermionic case where the tensor objects are generally rank-4 tensors represented in matrix form--e.g. mathematically indexed by geminals instead of monomials

  • The Tensor object is iterable and returns the basis indexing

  • Tensor can be easily "indexed" into by returning the vectorized variable number. For example the matrix {{0, 1}, {2, 3}} vectorized in C-ordering turns into a vector {0, 1, 2, 3}. index_vectorized(1, 0) will return the vectorized index '2'. This is useful when defining a vector space of an aggregate of Tensor objects. When a basis is defined on the Tensor index_vectorized uses the basis.rev() to get the position in a symmetrized form.

Features of MultiTensor()

  • As the name suggests this is an object that aggregates Tensor objects together to define a vector space.

  • Vectorization is performed in the canonical way

  • You can associate a DualBasis to a MultiTensor objects and synthesize the linear operator on the vector space as sparse operators.

Features of DualBasis()

  • Container for DualBasisElements.

  • Can be added together to create a larger set of operators.

Feature of DualBasisElement()

  • Container for a single dual basis element.

  • Each element can be extended and modified

  • Simplification can be performed to avoid rewriting and minimizing if-else statements in the code.

RDM Projection

  • Higham purification finds the closest positive semidefinite matrix with a fixed trace. This method is efficient because it does not require solving an SDP with a trace constraint. It involves a matrix diagonalization and a root finding step of monotonic function of the eigenvalues.

  • iterative 2-RDM purification Iteratively purify a 2-RDM by Higham purification then mapping to other marginals and performing the Higham purification on those states.

  • SDP 2-RDM purification. The method that finds the closest 2-RDM to a measured 2-RDM according the the rules of 2-positivity.

Information on all these techniques can be found in DOI:https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/aab919

Installation

We recommend installing representability in a fresh environment built with a base python 3.6 installation. This can be accomplished with conda through the following commands

conda create -n rep_env python=3.6
source activate rep_env

You can install representability directly from the Python package manager pip using:

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install representability -e .

The -e . reference the python package manager to the local directory for library source-code.

Current Roadmap

  • Finish the Fermion module: This module performs variational 2-RDM code and the marginal reconstruction code for the measurement project. Need to implement the complete spin-adapted version and with T1, T2 T2', and sharp N-rep conditions.

  • qubit module: Tomography from shot data or purification of qubit density matrices. Approximate reconstruction.

  • Unify the density *_maps.py with Tensor objects and the appropriate dual basis object. DualBasis was designed to be general enough to perform this mapping.

  • Boson representability

  • Majorana representability
