# netket.operator.KineticEnergy#

class netket.operator.KineticEnergy#

This is the kinetic energy operator (hbar = 1). The local value is given by: $$E_{kin} = -1/2 ( \sum_i \frac{1}{m_i} (\log(\psi))'^2 + (\log(\psi))'' )$$

Inheritance
__init__(hilbert, mass, dtype=None)[source]#

Args: hilbert: The underlying Hilbert space on which the operator is defined mass: float if all masses are the same, list indicating the mass of each particle otherwise dtype: Data type of the matrix elements. Defaults to np.float64

Methods
collect()#

Returns a guranteed concrete instancce of an operator.

As some operations on operators return lazy wrapperes (such as transpose, hermitian conjugate…), this is used to obtain a guaranteed non-lazy operator.

Return type

AbstractOperator

conj(*, concrete=False)#
Return type

AbstractOperator

conjugate(*, concrete=False)#

Returns the complex-conjugate of this operator.

Parameters

concrete – if True returns a concrete operator and not a lazy wrapper

Return type

AbstractOperator

Returns

if concrete is not True, self or a lazy wrapper; the complex-conjugated operator otherwise

transpose(*, concrete=False)#

Returns the transpose of this operator.

Parameters

concrete – if True returns a concrete operator and not a lazy wrapper

Return type

AbstractOperator

Returns

if concrete is not True, self or a lazy wrapper; the transposed operator otherwise
