1 dimensional simulation of gravity fails
In 1D the force of gravity does not diminish with distance however here I use 1D to mean the point mass only moves in a line in 3D space, with the other mass stationary at the origin.
I started by ...

Diagonalization using LAPACK
Say, we have a Hamiltonian which for simplicity does not mix particle hole sectors. It is just a simple Hamiltonian in real space as shown,
$H=\sum_{ij,\sigma} A(i,j)(c_{i\sigma}^{\dagger}c_{j\sigma} +...

Numerical minimization of the action in python
I want to find the trajectory $x(t)$ which minimizes the action $S = \int_{t_i}^{t_f} L(x(t), \dot{x}(t)) \mathrm{d}t$ numerically.
I am trying to do it by discretizing the action so it is more of a ...
