Description
In this PR, I add the support for arbitrary precision computations, for example using arrays of$10^{-14}$ are involved in the computation.
BigFloattype or similar. This allows to do simulations when values smaller thanI have tested it to the following use cases:
sesolve)mesolve)eigsolve(...)oreigenstates(A, sparse=true...))For the eigenvalues, the user need to import a package that defines a method for te following functions
schur!ordschur!I found GenericSchur.jl to work well, even without writing an extension.
In the next PRs I will write some documentation, as I think it is a very important feature that other packages don't have.
