BaseHamiltonian.calculate_quantum_metric(k, bands)

Calculate the quantum metric (geometric tensor) for specified bands.

This function computes the quantum geometric tensor associated with the specified bands of a given Hamiltonian over a grid of k-points. The output is a 2x2 matrix representing the quantum metric.

Parameters:

hBaseHamiltonian

Hamiltonian object used to compute Bloch states and their derivatives.

knumpy.ndarray

Array of k points in the Brillouin zone.

bandslist of int

Indices of the bands for which the quantum metric is to be calculated.

Returns:

numpy.ndarray

A 2x2 matrix representing the quantum metric.

Raises:

ValueError

If bands contains invalid indices or k_grid is empty.
