Welcome¶
TRIQS (Toolbox for Research on Interacting Quantum Systems) is a scientific project providing a set of C++ and Python libraries to develop new tools for the study of interacting quantum systems.
The goal of this toolkit is to provide high level, efficient and simple to use libraries in C++ and Python, and to promote the use of modern programming techniques.
TRIQS is free software distributed under the GPL license.
TRIQS applications¶
Based on the TRIQS toolkit, several full-fledged applications are also available. They allow for example to solve a generic quantum impurity model or to run a complete LDA+DMFT calculation.
Developed in a collaboration between IPhT Saclay and Ecole Polytechnique since 2005, the TRIQS library and applications have allowed us to address questions as diverse as:
- Momentum-selective aspects on cuprate superconductors (with various cluster DMFT methods)
- Degree of correlation in iron-based superconductors (within an LDA+DMFT approach)
- Fermionic Mott transition and exploration of Sarma phase in cold-atoms
Python & C++¶
The libraries exist at two complementary levels: on the one hand, C++ libraries allow to quickly develop high-performance low-level codes; on the other hand python libraries implement the most common many-body objects, like Green’s functions, that can be manipulated easily in python scripts.
This duality is a real advantage in the development of new many-body tools. Critical parts where performance is essential can be written in C++ (e.g. a quantum impurity solver) while the data analysis, preparation of the inputs or interface with other programs can be done at the very user-friendly python level.
