`tmLQCD`can compute the correlators for the heavy mesons $K$ and $D$.
The twisted mass formulation of the heavy doublet $(s, c)$ is such that $K$ and $D$ mix in the spectral decomposition @baron2011computing.
In fact, the Dirac operator is not diagonal in flavor,

## Stochastic approximation of the correlators

### Index dilution

<details>
<summary>Show Content</summary>


We now make the following remark. If we want to invert numerically the system $D_{ij} \psi_{j} = \eta_{i}$ (where the $i,j$ indices include all internal indices), we have:

\begin{equation}
D_{ij} \psi_{j} = \eta_{i} \, \implies
\psi_{i} = S_{ij} \eta_{j} \, .
\end{equation}

If $\eta_i \eta_j^{*} = \delta_{ij}$ we have:

\begin{equation}
S_{ij} = \psi_{i} \eta_{j}^{*} \, .
\end{equation}

---

We can also use **index dilution** in order to select the components we want. In fact, if we define: $\eta_i^{(a)} = \eta \delta_{i}^{a}$, with $\eta^{*} \eta =1$ we have:

\begin{equation}
S_{ab} = S_{ij} \delta_{i}^{a} \delta_{j}^{b} =
S_{ij} (\eta^{*} \delta_{i}^{a}) (\eta \delta_{j}^{b}) =
\psi_{i}^{(b)} (\eta_{i}^{a})^{*}
= \eta^{(a)} \cdot \psi^{(b)} \, .
\end{equation}

This means that for our matrix of correlators we have to do ${4_D \times 2_f \times 2_{h,\ell}} = 16$ inversions.

::: {.remark}
1. For the light doublet `tmLQCD` computes only $S_u$, which is obtained with $(\psi_h^{(\beta, f_0)})_{f_0}$. This is the only propagator we need.
2. For the heavy propagator, we can access the $(i,j)$ component of $S_h$ with $(\psi_h^{(\beta, f_j)})_{f_i}$.

In the end we have:

\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\Gamma_2=1 &\implies \mathcal{C}^{h_i, h_j}_{\Gamma_1, \Gamma_2}(t, \vec{x})
= \mathcal{R}^{00}+\mathcal{R}^{11}-\mathcal{R}^{22}-\mathcal{R}^{33}
\\
\Gamma_2=\gamma_5 &\implies \mathcal{C}^{h_i, h_j}_{\Gamma_1, \Gamma_2}(t, \vec{x})
= \mathcal{R}^{00}+\mathcal{R}^{11}+\mathcal{R}^{22}+\mathcal{R}^{33}
\end{split}
\mathcal{C}^{h_i, h_j}_{\Gamma_1, \Gamma_2}(t, \vec{x})
=
[\Gamma_2 \gamma_5 (\psi_u)^{(0, \alpha_2)}(x)^{*}]_{\alpha_1}
[\gamma_5 \Gamma_1 (\psi_h)_{f_i}^{(f_j, \alpha_1)}(x) ]_{\alpha_2}
\end{equation}
<!-- -->

In our case $\Gamma_{1,2} = 1,\gamma_5$. Since we use the chiral basis ${\Gamma_{1,2}^{*} = (\Gamma_{1,2}^{T})^\dagger = \Gamma_{1,2}}$.
Therefore we can equivalently write the correlator as:

\begin{equation}
\mathcal{C}^{h_i, h_j}_{\Gamma_1, \Gamma_2}(t, \vec{x})
=
[\Gamma_2 \gamma_5 (\psi_u)^{(0, \alpha_2)}(x)]^{*}_{\alpha_1}
\cdot
[\gamma_5 \Gamma_1 (\psi_h)_{f_i}^{(f_j, \alpha_1)}(x) ]_{\alpha_2} \,
\end{equation}

where $\cdot$ is the dot product in color space (NOTE: it complex-conjugates the 1st vector).
