qiskit.opflow.primitive_ops.MatrixOp.permute

MatrixOp.permute(permutation=None)

Creates a new MatrixOp that acts on the permuted qubits.

Parameters

permutation (Optional[List[int]]) – A list defining where each qubit should be permuted. The qubit at index j should be permuted to position permutation[j].

Return type

OperatorBase

Returns

A new MatrixOp representing the permuted operator.

Raises

OpflowError – if indices do not define a new index for each qubit.
