FermiFab toolbox for fermionic many-particle quantum systems

The FermiFab toolbox consists of a Matlab and Mathematica implementation, which are independent of each other but use the same principles and basically perform the same calculations. Both are supported by C interfaces (MEX and MathLink, respectively) to speed up computations and provide an additional abstraction layer.

Matlab

• Installation: add the matlab/fermifab subfolder to your Matlab search path
• MEX binaries: if your platform-specific MEX binaries in matlab/fermifab happen to be missing: make sure Mex has been properly configured for your system (mex -setup), call build_mex.m and hope that everything compiles well!
• Folder structure:
  • fermifab: Matlab toolbox files
  • mex: MEX C source code
  • doc: documentation
  • examples: example and demonstration files
  • test: testing and verification

Mathematica

• Demo file illustrating the reduced-density matrix (RDM) formalism: RDMdemo.nb
• The main toolbox code resides in fermifab.m and the MathLink C backend
• The 'mlink/fermifabML' subdirectory contains binary MathLink executables for several platforms; if these are not compatible with your architecture, consult the local readme file for details how to compile the MathLink source code
