Abstract

In the context of dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) calculations for strongly correlated electron systems, quantum impurity solvers play a central computational role in treating correlated lattice models and realistic materials. Consequently, developing efficient and robust quantum impurity solvers remains a key challenge. In this paper, we present an open-source quantum impurity solver package based on the natural orbitals renormalization group (NORG) method, dubbed . This software delivers high accuracy with reduced computational cost by optimizing the bath representation using natural orbitals and incorporating advanced features such as efficient Hilbert space selection and efficient algorithms for computing Green's functions. We first introduce the basic principle of the NORG method and then discuss the implementation details. The software framework, major features, and installation procedure for are explained as well. Finally, several simple examples are presented to demonstrate the usage of .
