get_operator(weight_matrix, K)

Generate Hamiltonian for the clique.

The goals is can we find a complete graph of size K?

To build the Hamiltonian the following logic is applied.

Suppose Xv denotes whether v should appear in the clique (Xv=1 or 0)n

H = Ha + Hbn

Ha = (K-sum_{v}{Xv})^2

Hb = K(K−1)/2 - sum_{(u,v)in E}{XuXv}

Besides, Xv = (Zv+1)/2

By replacing Xv with Zv and simplifying it, we get what we want below.

Note: in practice, we use H = A*Ha + Bb, where A is a large constant such as 1000.

A is like a huge penality over the violation of Ha, which forces Ha to be 0, i.e., you have exact K vertices selected. Under this assumption, Hb = 0 starts to make sense, it means the subgraph constitutes a clique or complete graph. Note the lowest possible value of Hb is 0.

Without the above assumption, Hb may be negative (say you select all). In this case, one needs to use Hb^2 in the hamiltonian to minimize the difference.
