qiskit.quantum_info.partial_trace

partial_trace(state, qargs)

Return reduced density matrix by tracing out part of quantum state.

If all subsystems are traced over this returns the trace() of the input state.

Parameter

• state (Statevector or DensityMatrix) – the input state.

• qargs (list) – The subsystems to trace over.

Rückgabe

The reduced density matrix.

Rückgabetyp

DensityMatrix

Verursacht

QiskitError – if input state is invalid.
