# LocalOperator

A custom local operator.

## Class Constructor [1]

Constructs a new LocalOperator given a hilbert space and (if specified) a constant level shift.

Argument Type Description
hilbert netket.hilbert.Hilbert Hilbert space the operator acts on.
constant float=0.0 Level shift for operator. Default is 0.0.

### Examples

Constructs a LocalOperator without any operators.

>>> from netket.graph import CustomGraph
>>> from netket.hilbert import CustomHilbert
>>> from netket.operator import LocalOperator
>>> g = CustomGraph(edges=[[i, i + 1] for i in range(20)])
>>> hi = CustomHilbert(local_states=[1, -1], graph=g)
>>> empty_hat = LocalOperator(hi)
>>> print(len(empty_hat.acting_on))
0



## Class Constructor [2]

Constructs a new LocalOperator given a hilbert space, a vector of operators, a vector of sites, and (if specified) a constant level shift.

Argument Type Description
hilbert netket.hilbert.Hilbert Hilbert space the operator acts on.
operators List[List[List[complex]]] A list of operators, in matrix form.
acting_on List[List[int]] A list of sites, which the corresponding operators act on.
constant float=0.0 Level shift for operator. Default is 0.0.

### Examples

Constructs a LocalOperator from a list of operators acting on a corresponding list of sites.

>>> from netket.graph import CustomGraph
>>> from netket.hilbert import CustomHilbert
>>> from netket.operator import LocalOperator
>>> sx = [[0, 1], [1, 0]]
>>> g = CustomGraph(edges=[[i, i + 1] for i in range(20)])
>>> hi = CustomHilbert(local_states=[1, -1], graph=g)
>>> sx_hat = LocalOperator(hi, [sx] * 3, [[0], [1], [5]])
>>> print(len(sx_hat.acting_on))
3



## Class Constructor [3]

Constructs a new LocalOperator given a hilbert space, an operator, a site, and (if specified) a constant level shift.

Argument Type Description
hilbert netket.hilbert.Hilbert Hilbert space the operator acts on.
operator List[List[complex]] An operator, in matrix form.
acting_on List[int] A list of sites, which the corresponding operators act on.
constant float=0.0 Level shift for operator. Default is 0.0.

### Examples

Constructs a LocalOperator from a single operator acting on a single site.

>>> from netket.graph import CustomGraph
>>> from netket.hilbert import CustomHilbert
>>> from netket.operator import LocalOperator
>>> sx = [[0, 1], [1, 0]]
>>> g = CustomGraph(edges=[[i, i + 1] for i in range(20)])
>>> hi = CustomHilbert(local_states=[1, -1], graph=g)
>>> sx_hat = LocalOperator(hi, sx, [0])
>>> print(len(sx_hat.acting_on))
1



## Class Methods

### get_conn

Member function finding the connected elements of the Operator. Starting from a given visible state v, it finds all other visible states v’ such that the matrix element O(v,v’) is different from zero. In general there will be several different connected visible units satisfying this condition, and they are denoted here v’(k), for k=0,1…N_connected.

Argument Type Description
v numpy.ndarray[float64[m, 1]] A constant reference to the visible configuration.

## Properties

Property Type Description
acting_on list[list] A list of the sites that each local matrix acts on.
hilbert netket.hilbert.Hilbert Hilbert space of operator.
local_matrices list[list] A list of the local matrices.
