Abstract

We describe the Density Matrix Renormalization Group algorithms for time dependent and time independent Hamiltonians. This paper is a brief but comprehensive introduction to the subject for anyone willing to enter in the field or write the program source code from scratch. An open source version of the code can be found at: http://qti.sns.it/dmrg/phome.html.
