In SZ symmetry (spin unrestricted) mode, the quantum chemistry Hamiltonian is given by

\[H = \sum_{\sigma,ij} [\mathrm{h1e}]_{\sigma,ij}\ a^{\dagger}_{i\sigma} a_{j\sigma} + \frac{1}{2} \sum_{\sigma\sigma',ijkl} [\mathrm{g2e}]_{\sigma\sigma',ijkl} \ a^{\dagger}_{i\sigma} a^\dagger_{k\sigma'} a_{l\sigma'} a_{j\sigma} + \mathrm{ecore}\]

\[\begin{split}[\mathrm{h1e}][0] = [\mathrm{h1e}]_{\alpha} \\ [\mathrm{h1e}][1] = [\mathrm{h1e}]_{\beta} \\ [\mathrm{g2e}][0] = [\mathrm{g2e}]_{\alpha\alpha} \\ [\mathrm{g2e}][1] = [\mathrm{g2e}]_{\alpha\beta} \\ [\mathrm{g2e}][2] = [\mathrm{g2e}]_{\beta\beta}\end{split}\]

In SGF symmetry (general spin) mode, the quantum chemistry Hamiltonian is given by

The strategy for distributing the integrals (when self.mpi is not None). If None, the strategy ParallelTypes.SIJ will be used. Default is None.

reorderNone or str or np.ndarray[int] or True

The strategy for site/orbital reordering. If None, orbital will not be reordered. If np.ndarray[int], the orbital will be reordered using the given permutation. If this is “irrep”, orbitals with the same point group irrep will be put together. If this is “fiedler” or True, the fiedler method will be used. See also reorder_imat. If this is “gaopt”, the genetic algorithm will be used to find the optimal orbital reordering, using the “fiedler” ordering as the initial guess. See also reorder_imat and gaopt_opts. Note that this argument will perform the orbital reordering implicitly. This implicit ordering can be recognized by DMRGDriver.dmrg and DMRGDriver.get_npdm but it may not be compatible to some other operations in DMRGDriver. It is recommended to manually to perform the reordering on the integrals h1e, g2e and orb_sym before invoking this method to prevent any ambiguity.

add_identbool
