SU(2)

class groups.su2.SU2(J, dtype=torch.float64, device='cpu')

Parameters

• J (int) – highest weight

• dtype (torch.dtype) – data type of matrix representation of operators

• device (int) – device on which the torch.tensor objects are stored

Build a representation J of SU(2) group. The J corresponds to (physics) spin irrep notation as spin \(S = (J-1)/2\).

The raising and lowering operators are defined as:

\[\begin{split}\begin{align*} S^+ &=S^x+iS^y & S^x &= 1/2(S^+ + S^-)\\ S^- &=S^x-iS^y\ \Rightarrow\ & S^y &=-i/2(S^+ - S^-) \end{align*}\end{split}\]
