SparsePauliOp#

class qiskit.quantum_info.SparsePauliOp(data, coeffs=None, *, ignore_pauli_phase=False, copy=True)[소스]#

기반 클래스: LinearOp

Sparse N-qubit operator in a Pauli basis representation.

This is a sparse representation of an N-qubit matrix Operator in terms of N-qubit PauliList and complex coefficients.

It can be used for performing operator arithmetic for hundred of qubits if the number of non-zero Pauli basis terms is sufficiently small.

The Pauli basis components are stored as a PauliList object and can be accessed using the paulis attribute. The coefficients are stored as a complex Numpy array vector and can be accessed using the coeffs attribute.

Data type of coefficients

The default dtype of the internal coeffs Numpy array is complex128. Users can configure this by passing np.ndarray with a different dtype. For example, a parameterized SparsePauliOp can be made as follows:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from qiskit.circuit import ParameterVector
>>> from qiskit.quantum_info import SparsePauliOp

>>> SparsePauliOp(["II", "XZ"], np.array(ParameterVector("a", 2)))
SparsePauliOp(['II', 'XZ'],
      coeffs=[ParameterExpression(1.0*a[0]), ParameterExpression(1.0*a[1])])

참고

Parameterized SparsePauliOp does not support the following methods:

  • to_matrix(sparse=True) since scipy.sparse cannot have objects as elements.

  • to_operator() since Operator does not support objects.

  • sort, argsort since ParameterExpression does not support comparison.

  • equiv since ParameterExpression cannot be converted into complex.

  • chop since ParameterExpression does not support absolute value.

Initialize an operator object.

매개변수:
  • data (PauliList or SparsePauliOp or Pauli or list or str) – Pauli list of terms. A list of Pauli strings or a Pauli string is also allowed.

  • coeffs (np.ndarray) –

    complex coefficients for Pauli terms.

    참고

    If data is a SparsePauliOp and coeffs is not None, the value of the SparsePauliOp.coeffs will be ignored, and only the passed keyword argument coeffs will be used.

  • ignore_pauli_phase (bool) – if true, any phase component of a given PauliList will be assumed to be zero. This is more efficient in cases where a PauliList has been constructed purely for this object, and it is already known that the phases in the ZX-convention are zero. It only makes sense to pass this option when giving PauliList data. (Default: False)

  • copy (bool) – copy the input data if True, otherwise assign it directly, if possible. (Default: True)

예외 발생:

QiskitError – If the input data or coeffs are invalid.

Return indices for sorting the rows of the table.

Example

Here is an example of how to use SparsePauliOp argsort.

import numpy as np
from qiskit.quantum_info import SparsePauliOp

# 2-qubit labels
labels = ["XX", "XX", "XX", "YI", "II", "XZ", "XY", "XI"]
# coeffs
coeffs = [2.+1.j, 2.+2.j, 3.+0.j, 3.+0.j, 4.+0.j, 5.+0.j, 6.+0.j, 7.+0.j]

# init
spo = SparsePauliOp(labels, coeffs)
print('Initial Ordering')
print(spo)

# Lexicographic Ordering
srt = spo.argsort()
print('Lexicographically sorted')
print(srt)

# Lexicographic Ordering
srt = spo.argsort(weight=False)
print('Lexicographically sorted')
print(srt)

# Weight Ordering
srt = spo.argsort(weight=True)
print('Weight sorted')
print(srt)
Initial Ordering
SparsePauliOp(['XX', 'XX', 'XX', 'YI', 'II', 'XZ', 'XY', 'XI'],
              coeffs=[2.+1.j, 2.+2.j, 3.+0.j, 3.+0.j, 4.+0.j, 5.+0.j, 6.+0.j, 7.+0.j])

매개변수:

  • sorted (By using the weight kwarg the output can additionally be) –

  • Pauli. (by the number of non-identity terms in the) –

반환:

반환 형식:

array

assign_parameters(parameters, inplace=False)[소스]#

Bind the free Parameters in the coefficients to provided values.

매개변수:
반환:

A copy of the operator with bound parameters, if inplace is False, otherwise None.

반환 형식:

SparsePauliOp | None

chop(tol=1e-14)[소스]#

Set real and imaginary parts of the coefficients to 0 if < tol in magnitude.

For example, the operator representing 1+1e-17j X + 1e-17 Y with a tolerance larger than 1e-17 will be reduced to 1 X whereas SparsePauliOp.simplify() would return 1+1e-17j X.

If a both the real and imaginary part of a coefficient is 0 after chopping, the corresponding Pauli is removed from the operator.

매개변수:

tol (float) – The absolute tolerance to check whether a real or imaginary part should be set to 0.

반환:

This operator with chopped coefficients.

반환 형식:

compose(other, qargs=None, front=False)[소스]#

Return the operator composition with another SparsePauliOp.

매개변수:
  • other (SparsePauliOp) – a SparsePauliOp object.

반환 형식:

SparsePauliOp

예외 발생:

QiskitError – if other cannot be converted to an operator, or has incompatible dimensions for specified subsystems.

참고

Composition (&) by default is defined as left matrix multiplication for matrix operators, while @ (equivalent to dot()) is defined as right matrix multiplication. That is that A & B == A.compose(B) is equivalent to B @ A == B.dot(A) when A and B are of the same type.

Setting the front=True kwarg changes this to right matrix multiplication and is equivalent to the dot() method A.dot(B) == A.compose(B, front=True).

Return the conjugate of the SparsePauliOp.

copy()#

Make a deep copy of current operator.

dot(other, qargs=None)#

Example

Here is an example of how to use SparsePauliOp sort.

import numpy as np

coeffs = [2.+1.j, 2.+2.j, 3.+0.j, 3.+0.j, 4.+0.j, 5.+0.j, 6.+0.j, 7.+0.j]

# init
spo = SparsePauliOp(labels, coeffs)
print('Initial Ordering')
print(spo)

# Lexicographic Ordering
srt = spo.sort()
print('Lexicographically sorted')
print(srt)

# Lexicographic Ordering
srt = spo.sort(weight=False)
print('Lexicographically sorted')
