Introduction
Hi, welcome to the world of continuous-time quantum impurity solvers.
This is the official user manual for the iQIST software package which implements several state-of-the-art continuous-time quantum impurity solvers. In this chapter, you will learn something you have to know about the continuous-time quantum impurity solvers, and of course the iQIST software package.
Are you ready? Let's go!
- What's iQIST? // Is it a food or an animal?
- Motivation // Why do we need the iQIST software package?
- Components // What does the iQIST software package include?
- Features // What can we do by using the iQIST software package?
- Software architecture // A bird's eye view of the iQIST software package.
- Policy // Some basic rules and tips.
If you are already familiar with the iQIST software package, perhaps you will be interested in the following advanced topics:
- Quantum Monte Carlo impurity solvers // A comprehensive reference about the impurity solvers.
- Applications // The applications, plugins that are built on top of iQIST.
- Atomic eigenvalue problem solver // A comprehensive reference about the atomic eigenvalue solver.
- Auxiliary tools // Full descriptions about the auxiliary toolbox.
- Application programming interfaces // How to use iQIST via external Python/Fortran programs.
If you want to learn the secrets of the iQIST software package, then diving into
- Inside iQIST // The principles, tricks, formulations, algorithms that are implemented in iQIST.
