A fast and easy to use Gross-Pitaevskii equation solver.
Description
PyGPE is a CUDA-accelerated Python library for solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equations for use in simulating Bose-Einstein condensate systems.
- Documentation: https://wheelermt.github.io/pygpe-docs/
Supported features
- Scalar, two-component, spin-1, and spin-2 BEC systems.
- 1D, 2D, and 3D grid lattices.
- GPU support.
- HDF5 data saving system.
- Method for generating vortices within the system.
Requirements
If using a GPU: - CUDA Toolkit (>=11.2) - CuPy (>=10.2.0).
Installation
The simplest way to begin using PyGPE is through pip:
pip install pygpe
By default, PyGPE will use the CPU to perform calculations. However, if a CUDA-capable GPU is detected, PyGPE will automatically utilise it for drastic speed-ups in computation time.
Examples
See examples folder for various examples on the usage of the library. Below is an animation of superfluid turbulence in a scalar BEC simulated using PyGPE on a $512^2$ lattice for $N_t=200000$ time steps taking ~5 minutes to complete on an RTX 2060.
