PauliTools

PauliTools is a set of libraries useful for working with Pauli strings. The code is written in C++ and takes full advantage of the symplectic binary representation of Pauli strings. Current capabilities include generating the Hamiltonian algebra (AKA Dynamical Lie Algebra) of a set of Pauli strings.

How to run?

The PauliTools package uses the CMake build system (CMake version ≥ 3.16). The recommended way of building PauliTools is as follows:

1. Install

    git clone https://github.com/kemperlab/PauliTools.git
   

2. CMake

    cd PauliTools
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
    make -j8
   

3. Run tests

    ./test/run_all_tests
