Abstract

We propose the ultra-fast numerical approach to large-scale inhomogeneous superconductors, which we call the Localized Krylov Bogoliubov-de Gennes method (LK-BdG). In the LK-BdG method, the computational complexity of the local Green's function, which is used to calculate the local density of states and the mean-fields, does not depend on the system size $N$. The calculation cost of self-consistent calculations is ${\cal O}(N)$, which enables us to open a new avenue for treating extremely large systems with millions of lattice sites. To show the power of the LK-BdG method, we demonstrate a self-consistent calculation on the 143806-site Penrose quasicrystal lattice with a vortex and a calculation on 1016064-site two-dimensional nearest-neighbor square-lattice tight-binding model with many vortices. We also demonstrate that it takes less than 30 seconds with one CPU core to calculate the local density of states with whole energy range in 100-millions-site tight-binding model.
