ffsim.s_plus_operator(norb)[source]

Spin raising operator.

The spin raising operator is defined as

\[S_+ = \sum_{i=0}^{N-1} a^\dagger_{i\alpha} a_{i\beta}\]

where \(N\) is the number of spatial orbitals.

Parameters:

norb (int) – The number of spatial orbitals.

Return type:

FermionOperator

Returns:

The spin raising operator.
