class qiskit.algorithms.SciPyImaginaryEvolver(num_timesteps)

Bases: ImaginaryTimeEvolver

Classical Evolver for imaginary time evolution.

Evolves an initial state \(|\Psi\rangle\) for an imaginary time \(\tau = it\) under a Hamiltonian \(H\), as provided in the evolution_problem. Note that the precision of the evolver does not depend on the number of timesteps taken.

Parâmetros:

num_timesteps (int) – The number of timesteps in the simulation.

Levanta:

ValueError – If num_timesteps is not a positive integer.

Methods

evolve(evolution_problem)

Perform imaginary time evolution \(\exp(-\tau H)|\Psi\rangle\).

Parâmetros:

evolution_problem (TimeEvolutionProblem) – The definition of the evolution problem.

Retorno:

Evolution result which includes an evolved quantum state.
