class seemps.hamiltonians.NNHamiltonian(size)

Abstract class representing a Hamiltonian for a 1D system with nearest-neighbor interactions.

The Hamiltonian is assumed to have the structure

\[H = \sum_{i=0}^{N-2} h_{i,i+1}\]

where each \(h_{i,i+1}\) is a matrix acting on two quantum subsystems. Descendents from this class must implement both the dimension() and interaction_term() methods.
