Exact diagonalization is a numerical technique used in quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics to solve quantum many-body problems. The goal is to find the eigenvalues and eigenstates of a Hamiltonian, which describes the energy and dynamics of a quantum system. This method is particularly useful for systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom, such as spin systems or small lattice models.
