qiskit.opflow.list_ops.ComposedOp.compose

ComposedOp.compose(other, permutation=None, front=False)

Return Operator Composition between self and other (linear algebra-style: A@B(x) = A(B(x))), overloaded by @.

Note: You must be conscious of Quantum Circuit vs. Linear Algebra ordering conventions. Meaning, X.compose(Y) produces an X∘Y on qubit 0, but would produce a QuantumCircuit which looks like

-[Y]-[X]-

Because Terra prints circuits with the initial state at the left side of the circuit.

Parameter

• other (OperatorBase) – The OperatorBase with which to compose self.

• permutation (Optional[List[int]]) – List[int] which defines permutation on other operator.

• front (bool) – If front==True, return other.compose(self).

Rückgabe

An OperatorBase equivalent to the function composition of self and other.
