Title: perform_device_optimization
Post by: jalmeida on January 28, 2025, 14:49

Dear all,

Please, how exactly is done the optimization when I set "perform_device_optimization=True" in OptimizeDeviceConfiguration class? Is a full optimization with NEGF instead of bulk as it is previously? Is that too much longer?

Yes (it is done with NEGF) and yes (it takes much longer time).

See https://docs.quantumatk.com/manual/Types/OptimizeDeviceConfiguration/OptimizeDeviceConfiguration.html, in particular the note just before the usage example.
