Class documentation

class WaveBlocks.HagedornPropagatorInhomogeneous(potential, packet, parameters)

This class can numerically propagate given initial values in a potential . The propagation is done for a given set of inhomogeneous Hagedorn wavepackets neglecting interaction.

get_number_components()

Returns:The number of components of .

get_potential()

Returns the potential used for time propagation.

Returns:A MatrixPotential instance.

get_wavepackets(packet=0)

Return the wavepackets taking part in the simulation.

Parameters:packet (Integer) – The number of a single packet that is to be returned. Returns:A list of HagedornWavepacketInhomogeneous instances that represents the current wavepackets.

number_components = None

Number of components the wavepacket has got.

packets = None

A list of Hagedorn wavepackets . At the moment we do not use any codata here.

potential = None

The potential the packet(s) feel.

propagate()

Given the wavepacket at time compute the propagated wavepacket at time . We perform exactly one timestep here.

set_wavepackets(packetlist)

Set the wavepackets that the propagator will propagate.

Parameters:packetlist – A list of new wavepackets to propagate.
