MatrixExpectation

class qiskit.opflow.expectations.MatrixExpectation

Bases: ExpectationBase

An Expectation converter which converts Operator measurements to be matrix-based so they can be evaluated by matrix multiplication.

Obsoleto desde a versão 0.24.0: The class qiskit.opflow.expectations.matrix_expectation.MatrixExpectation is deprecated as of qiskit-terra 0.24.0. It will be removed no earlier than 3 months after the release date. For code migration guidelines, visit https://qisk.it/opflow_migration.

Methods

compute_variance(exp_op)

Compute the variance of the expectation estimator. Because this expectation works by matrix multiplication, the estimation is exact and the variance is always 0, but we need to return those values in a way which matches the Operator’s structure.

Parâmetros:

exp_op (OperatorBase) – The full expectation value Operator.

Retorno:

The variances or lists thereof (if exp_op contains ListOps) of the expectation value estimation, equal to 0.

Tipo de retorno:

list | float

convert(operator)

Accept an Operator and return a new Operator with the Pauli measurements replaced by Matrix based measurements.

Parâmetros:

operator (OperatorBase) – The operator to convert.

Retorno:

The converted operator.

Tipo de retorno:

OperatorBase
