class MolecularGroundStateEnergy(driver, solver=None, transformation=<TransformationType.FULL: 'full'>, qubit_mapping=<QubitMappingType.PARITY: 'parity'>, two_qubit_reduction=True, freeze_core=False, orbital_reduction=None, z2symmetry_reduction=None)

Bases: object

Molecular ground state energy chemistry application

Parameters

• driver (FermionicDriver) – Chemistry driver

• solver (Optional[MinimumEigensolver]) – An Aqua MinimumEigensolver. This can be provided on the constructor or via the solver property, or via the callback on compute_energy()

• transformation (TransformationType) – full or particle_hole

• qubit_mapping (QubitMappingType) – jordan_wigner, parity or bravyi_kitaev

• two_qubit_reduction (bool) – Whether two qubit reduction should be used, when parity mapping only

• freeze_core (bool) – Whether to freeze core orbitals when possible

• orbital_reduction (Optional[List[int]]) – Orbital list to be frozen or removed

• z2symmetry_reduction (Union[str, List[int], None]) – If z2 symmetry reduction should be applied to the qubit operators that are computed. Setting ‘auto’ will use an automatic computation of the correct sector. If from other experiments, with the z2symmetry logic, the sector is known, then the tapering values of that sector can be provided (a list of int of values -1, and 1). The default is None meaning no symmetry reduction is done. See also Hamiltonian which has the core processing behind this class.
