FRTRG Kondo

Code implementing Floquet real-time renormalization group method for the Kondo model as explained in https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.06263. The code in this repository is more general than the code explained in the preprint cited above.

This includes software for dealing with matrices appearing in the Floquet Green's function approach. The modules have levels of specialization.

Mitigation to truncation effects for infinite size matrices

rtrg_c.c provides helper functions to avoid truncation effects when dealing with infinite size square matrices. It relies on the following assumptions:

• All matrices are truncated infinite size matrices.
• The infinite size matrix can be (approximately) reconstructed by linearly continuing the matrix along it's diagonal.

An example of the extrapolation from the truncated matrix (box) to the estimated bigger matrix:

6 2 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
2 5 2_2_1_0_0_0_0_0 0 0
2 2|4 2 2 1 0 0 0 0|0 0
1 2|2 3 2 2 1 0 0 0|0 0
0 1|2 2 2 2 2 1 0 0|0 0
0 0|1 2 2 1 1 2 1 0|0 0
0 0|0 1 2 1 1 2 2 1|0 0
0 0|0 0 1 2 2 2 2 2|1 0
0 0|0 0 0 1 2 2 3 2|2 1
0 0|0_0_0_0_1_2_2_4|2 2
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 2 5 2
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 2 6

rtrg_c provides functions for matrix extrapolation, inversion, and multiplication for numpy arrays of type complex128. In the multiplication the following symmetry can optionally be used to speed up the calculation: (in python syntax) A[::-1,::-1] = ±A.conjugate(). This symmetry plays an important role in the Floquet Green's function formalism.

The functions of rtrg_c can be tested and benchmarked using test.py and benchmark.py. For best performance some parameters in the code should be adapted as explained in the code and in doc/main.tex. The best values for these parameters depends mainly on the size of the Floquet matrices and the number of available OMP threads. Enabling more parallelization may slightly improve performance for large matrices but significantly worsen the performance for small matrices. Note that rtrg_c works best with F-ordered numpy arrays, see doc/main.tex or (in python) help(rtrg_c).

The experimental code for rtrg_cublas aims to provide the same functionality as rtrg_c, but uses CUBLAS (framework for nvidia GPUs) to speed up the matrix products. Note that rtrg_cublas is probably less stable and can be much slower than rtrg_c if not configured correctly.

Floquet matrix classes

The class RGfunction in rtrg.py provide a high-level interface for calculations with Floquet matrices including replicas with shifted energy argument in python.

reservoirmatrix.py provides a matrix of RGfunction objects and some functions that speed up some calculations with these objects by using symmetries.

FRTRG analysis of Kondo model

In kondo.py the framework of FRTRG is applied to the Kondo model. main.py contains functions to generate, save, load and visualize FRTRG data for tke Kondo model.

Performance

The option compact is used to improve performance for the special case method==J with V(-t)=-V(t), voltage_branches==0 and large nmax. The options use_reference_implementation, ignore_symmetries, enforce_symmetric are only for testing. They are reduce the performance.

The options include_Ga and solve_integral_exactly are not as optimized as the rest of the code and are partially incompatible with methods that improve performance.

Some performance tests:

time OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 python gen_data.py --omega=16.5372 --method=mu --nmax=24 --vdc=33.0744 --vac=33.0744 --voltage_branches=4 --log_time=10 --d=1e9 --rtol=1e-8 --atol=1e-10 --save=all --threads=1 --log_level=DEBUG --filename=data/frtrg-trash-01.h5 ...

Depending on the extra options the duration varies:

Versions

version 14.15:

• set Tk=1 in second order truncation

version 14.x:

• based on versions 8 and 13
• implements the RG for the system with and without unitary transformation (version 8 and 13)
• completely new user interface

baseversion 13:

• used to generate data for https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.06263

baseversion 12:

• handling of frequency shifts in initial conditions for Floquet matrices is a bit strange
• no noticeable difference in results

baseversion 11:

• small mistakes in initial conditions, but these are of higher order
• average current: very small difference, order 1e-8
• oscillating current (also for pulses): small difference, relative mistake of order 4e-4 or below

baseversion 10:

• significant mistake in initial conditions

baseversion 9:

• probably similar mistakes in initial conditions as in version 10

baseversion 8:

• final version using a Hamiltonian that was initially modified by a unitary transformation
• oscillating voltage only enters in initial conditions
• more efficient than version 13 when the average voltage vanishes
• less thoroughly tested than version 13

baseversion 7:
