 The function //BlockBandDiagonalize()// can be used to reduce the number of basis (spin-)orbitals by making linear combinations of (spin-)orbitals, according to the tight-binding structure (hopping matrix elements) within the (spin-)orbitals. As a simple example to make the idea clear, consider the following 3-by-3 matrix: The function //BlockBandDiagonalize()// can be used to reduce the number of basis (spin-)orbitals by making linear combinations of (spin-)orbitals, according to the tight-binding structure (hopping matrix elements) within the (spin-)orbitals. As a simple example to make the idea clear, consider the following 3-by-3 matrix:
 $$ M = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 1 \\  1 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} $$ $$ M = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 1 \\  1 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} $$
-Now, we can linearly combine the second and third basis vectors, such that we get a single vector which mix with the first vector via matrix M. Consider the following unitary rotation matrix:+Now, assuming that $M$ corresponds to a tight-binding Hamiltonian defined on some basis, we can linearly combine the second and third basis orbitals, such that we get a single orbital which mix with the first orbital via the matrix M. Consider the following unitary rotation matrix:
 $$ U = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\  0 & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ 0 & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{pmatrix} $$ $$ U = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\  0 & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ 0 & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{pmatrix} $$
 Now, transforming the matrix $ M $ using the unitary matrix $ U $ results in: Now, transforming the matrix $ M $ using the unitary matrix $ U $ results in:
 $$ M' = U M U^{T} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & 0 \\   \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} $$ $$ M' = U M U^{T} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & 0 \\   \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} $$
