SpinDensityEstimator needs to be upgraded to support open boundary conditions
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The SpinDensityEstimator currently does not support open boundary conditions. Once supported we can deprecate or remove the DensityEstimator since the SpinDensityEstimator has a superset of the DensityEstimator functionality.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement open boundary conditions
Additional context
This would be a good first code contribution or similarly a good topic for someone less familiar with the simulation/physics aspects of the code. The code in DensityEstimator should be translatable to SpinDensityEstimator.
