This PR allows one to do basic algebra with Hamiltonians (that share lattice and orbital structure). This includes

and addition of the identityI
.An example
One possible usecase for this is the computation of the square of the shifted spectrum of
h
(doing e.g.spectrum((h-z*I)^2, method->ArpackPackage(which = :LM))
) as a cheap way towards internal eigenvalues using Arnoldi.(Note that the addition of
UniformScaling
respects the orbital structure ofh
)
