openfermion.ops.antisymmetric_canonical_form

Compute the canonical form of an antisymmetric matrix.

The input is a real, antisymmetric n x n matrix A, where n is even. Its canonical form is::

A = R^T C R

where R is a real, orthogonal matrix and C has the form::

[  0     D ]
[ -D     0 ]

where D is a diagonal matrix with nonnegative entries.

antisymmetric_matrix(ndarray): An antisymmetric matrix with even dimension.

canonical(ndarray): The canonical form C of antisymmetric_matrix orthogonal(ndarray): The orthogonal transformation R.
