Choi¶

class Choi(data, input_dims=None, output_dims=None)[source]¶

Bases : QuantumChannel

Choi-matrix representation of a Quantum Channel.

The Choi-matrix representation of a quantum channel \(\mathcal{E}\) is a matrix

\[\Lambda = \sum_{i,j} |i\rangle\!\langle j|\otimes \mathcal{E}\left(|i\rangle\!\langle j|\right)\]

Evolution of a DensityMatrix \(\rho\) with respect to the Choi-matrix is given by

\[\mathcal{E}(\rho) = \mbox{Tr}_{1}\left[\Lambda (\rho^T \otimes \mathbb{I})\right]\]

where \(\mbox{Tr}_1\) is the partial_trace() over subsystem 1.

See reference [1] for further details.

Initialize a quantum channel Choi matrix operator.

Paramètres

or (data (QuantumCircuit) – Instruction or BaseOperator or matrix): data to initialize superoperator.
input_dims (tuple) – the input subsystem dimensions. [Default: None]
output_dims (tuple) – the output subsystem dimensions. [Default: None]

Lève

QiskitError – if input data cannot be initialized as a Choi matrix.

Additional Information:: If the input or output dimensions are None, they will be automatically determined from the input data. If the input data is a Numpy array of shape (4**N, 4**N) qubit systems will be used. If the input operator is not an N-qubit operator, it will assign a single subsystem with dimension specified by the shape of the input.
