qiskit.quantum_info.Quaternion

class Quaternion(data)

A class representing a Quaternion.

__init__(data)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Methods

__init__(data)	Initialize self.
from_axis_rotation(angle, axis)	Return quaternion for rotation about given axis.
from_euler(angles[, order])	Generate a quaternion from a set of Euler angles.
norm()	Norm of quaternion.
normalize([inplace])	Normalizes a Quaternion to unit length so that it represents a valid rotation.
to_matrix()	Converts a unit-length quaternion to a rotation matrix.
to_zyz()	Converts a unit-length quaternion to a sequence of ZYZ Euler angles.

classmethod from_axis_rotation(angle, axis)

Return quaternion for rotation about given axis.

Parâmetros
