qiskit.quantum_info.SparsePauliOp.compose

SparsePauliOp.compose(other, qargs=None, front=False)

Return the operator composition with another SparsePauliOp.

Paramètres

• other (SparsePauliOp) – a SparsePauliOp object.

• qargs (list or None) – Optional, a list of subsystem positions to apply other on. If None apply on all subsystems (default: None).

• front (bool) – If True compose using right operator multiplication, instead of left multiplication [default: False].

Renvoie

Lève

QiskitError – if other cannot be converted to an operator, or has incompatible dimensions for specified subsystems.

Note

Composition (&) by default is defined as left matrix multiplication for matrix operators, while @ (equivalent to dot()) is defined as right matrix multiplication. That is that A & B == A.compose(B) is equivalent to B @ A == B.dot(A) when A and B are of the same type.

Setting the front=True kwarg changes this to right matrix multiplication and is equivalent to the dot() method A.dot(B) == A.compose(B, front=True).
