SpinHam1D PBC
What happened?
Hello,
How can you define a Hamiltonian for an MPS with PBC using the SpinHam1D class? If you try to do this you get the error:
`NotImplementedError Traceback (most recent call last) c:\Users\gerar\OneDrive\Documents\AI\QGNN\src\QGNN\baselines\beliefpropagation\tn_simple_update.ipynb Cell 9 line 6 62 # Add the interaction term and consider cyclic term 63 if J_ab != 0 and (abs(a - b) == 1 or (data[idx].pbc and (abs(a - b) == n[0] - 1))): ---> 64 ham_builder[a, b] += J_ab * 4, 'Z', 'Z' 65 ham_builder[b, a] += J_ab * 4, 'Z', 'Z' 70 ham_local_2 = ham_builder.build_mpo(n[0])

NotImplementedError: Can only add nearest neighbour terms.`
The problem comes from adding the interaction term from the first and last particle due to the PBC (in the library's code it checks for neighbors with the condition a - b != 1 while it should be abs(a - b) != 1 and (PBC and (abs(a - b) != NumParticles - 1)))). Is there a workaround? I need to instantiate my Hamiltonian with this class to create an MPO and thus use DRMG. The limitation with defining an MPO directly is the lack of fully customizable Hamiltonians.

Is this using SpinHam1D(S=S, cyclic=True)? I guess currently it only handles translationally invariant hamiltonians, but could be modified quite easily.
It's might be a little more complicated than just removing that guard however, as PBC MPOs need special boundary conditions and can be a little hard to reason about.
Exactly, I tried removing the guard to check if it worked but it is not that simple.
