 The ResponseFunction object in Quanty defines (linear) response functions. For Hamiltonian $H$, ground-state $| \psi_0 \rangle$ and a list of transition operators $T_i$ with $i \in [1,n]$ we define the response function $G(\omega,\Gamma)$ as giving an $n$ by $n$ matrix for each value of $\omega$ and $\Gamma$. The elements of this matrix are given as The ResponseFunction object in Quanty defines (linear) response functions.

One can calculate response functions using the Quanty function [[documentation:language_reference:functions:createspectra|CreateSpectra]]. This function returns two objects. At the first position a spectra object that contains the intensity for given values of $\omega$ and one specific value of $\Gamma$ on a grid.

 Response functions can be added, subtracted, scaled and many other functions are available to modify them. Response functions can be used to calculate self energies of systems and used for diagrammatic expansions of problems otherwise to involved to solve. Response functions can be added, subtracted, scaled and many other functions are available to modify them.

 Internally response functions can be stored in different formats. We need several formats as (1) transformations between the different formats take time (2) transformations between different formats can involve a loss of numerical accuracy and (3) different algorithms require the response function in different formats.

 +Below you find several functions, methods, properties and operations related to response functions.

 +Response functions can be stored internally as Lua tables with a metatable set to ResponseFunctionMeta, or as a user data. Both objects behave similarly. One should be careful as a comparison between a response function stored as a table to a response function stored as a user data is always falls. That said, comparing functions of doubles will always be problematic due to numerical inaccuracies.
