Hi Everyone, After long discussions with Joe and Michael I got a way better idea about what the low level system is, and how it's supposed to work. My first reaction was, the level of abstraction we want to maintain, such as not storing any of the spatial structure of the system, will make

Hi Christoph, Here are my comments to your old email. I see what you mean: calculations are done with matrices that only have the > translational symmetries left. So what’s the point in solvers knowing > anything about non-translational symmetries? First of all, it makes sense to define a
