How do I use this algorithm? What does that parameter do?

Hi,
I am trying to find the ground state of a system with long-range interactions and I want to try using TDVP with imaginary time evolution.
When I use TDVP for real time evolution everything works fine, but I am not sure whether it is implemented to also support imaginary time evolution?
Thank you!

That's currently not supported at the moment, as imaginary time evolution is generally much slower than variational methods like DMRG.
Why would you prefer TDVP over DMRG?
