SparseLabelOp

class SparseLabelOp(data, *, copy=True, validate=True)

ベースクラス: LinearMixin, AdjointMixin, GroupMixin, TolerancesMixin, ABC, Mapping

The base class for sparse second-quantized operators.

This class generalizes the storing of operators down to a mapping from string-based labels to coefficients. No assumptions are to be made about the contents of the string keys, which is entirely left up to concrete subclasses of this base.

Since this is an abstract base class, we cannot show concrete computation examples here, but operators implementing this interface will support:

• linear operations such as addition and scalar multiplication

• operator multiplication such as composition and tensor products

• transposition, conjugation and (by extension) the adjoint()

• equality and equivalence (using the atol and rtol tolerances) comparisons

Furthermore, several general utility methods exist which are documented below.

注釈

A SparseLabelOp can contain qiskit.circuit.ParameterExpression objects as coefficients. However, a SparseLabelOp containing parameters does not support the following methods:

• equiv

• induced_norm

パラメータ:

• data (Mapping[str, _TCoeff]) – the operator data, mapping string-based keys to numerical values.

• copy (bool) – when set to False the data will not be copied and the dictionary will be stored by reference rather than by value (which is the default; copy=True). Note, that this requires you to not change the contents of the dictionary after constructing the operator. This also implies validate=False. Use with care!

• validate (bool) – when set to False the data keys will not be validated. Note, that the SparseLabelOp base class, makes no assumption about the data keys, so will not perform any validation by itself. Only concrete subclasses are encouraged to implement a key validation method. Disable this setting with care!

例外:

QiskitNatureError – when an invalid key is encountered during validation.

Attributes

Methods

adjoint()

Return the adjoint of the Operator.

戻り値の型:

Self

argsort(*, weight=False)

Returns the keys which sort this operator.

パラメータ:

weight (bool) – when True, the returned keys will sort this operator according to the coefficient weights of the stored terms; when False, the keys will sort the operator by its keys (i.e. lexicographically).

戻り値:

The sequence of keys which sort this operator.

戻り値の型:

Sequence[str]

assign_parameters(parameters)

Assign parameters to new parameters or values.

パラメータ:

parameters (Mapping[ParameterExpression, complex | ParameterExpression]) – The mapping from parameters to new parameters or values.

戻り値:

A new operator with the parameters assigned.

戻り値の型:

SparseLabelOp

chop(atol=None)

Chops the real and imaginary parts of the operator coefficients.

This function separately chops the real and imaginary parts of all coefficients to the provided tolerance. Parameters are chopped only if they are exactly zero.

パラメータ:

atol (float | None) – the tolerance to which to chop. If None, atol will be used.

戻り値:

The chopped operator.

戻り値の型:

SparseLabelOp

abstract compose(other, qargs=None, front=False)

Returns the operator composition with another operator.

パラメータ:

• other (SparseLabelOp) – the other operator.

• qargs (None) – UNUSED.

• front (bool) – If True composition uses right operator multiplication, otherwise left multiplication is used (the default).

戻り値:

The operator resulting from the composition.

戻り値の型:

SparseLabelOp

注釈

Composition (&) by default is defined as left matrix multiplication for matrix operators, while @ (equivalent to dot()) is defined as right matrix multiplication. This means 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 keyword argument changes this to right matrix multiplication which is equivalent to the dot() method A.dot(B) == A.compose(B, front=True).

conjugate()

Returns the conjugate of the SparseLabelOp.

戻り値:

The complex conjugate of the starting SparseLabelOp.

戻り値の型:

SparseLabelOp

dot(other, qargs=None)

Return the right multiplied operator self * other.

パラメータ:

• other (Operator) – an operator object.

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

戻り値:

The right matrix multiplied Operator.

戻り値の型:

Operator

注釈

The dot product can be obtained using the @ binary operator. Hence a.dot(b) is equivalent to a @ b.

equiv(other, *, atol=None, rtol=None)

Check equivalence of two SparseLabelOp instances up to an accepted tolerance.

パラメータ:

• other (SparseLabelOp) – the second SparseLabelOp to compare with this instance.

get(k[, d]) → D[k] if k in D, else d.  d defaults to None.

induced_norm(order=1)

Returns the p-norm induced by the operator coefficients.

If the operator is represented as a sum of terms

\[\sum_i w_i H_i\]

then the induced \(p\)-norm is

\[\left(\sum_i |w_i|^p \right)^{1/p}\]

This is the standard \(p\)-norm of the operator coefficients considered as a vector (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_(mathematics)#p-norm). Note that this method does not normal-order or simplify the operator before computing the norm; performing either of those operations can affect the result.

パラメータ:

order (int) – Order \(p\) of the norm. The default value is 1.

戻り値:

The induced norm.

戻り値の型:

float

float

is_parameterized()

Returns whether the operator contains any parameters.

戻り値の型:

bool

is_zero(tol=None)

Returns true if operator length is zero or all coefficients have value zero.

パラメータ:

戻り値:

A list of the parameters in the operator.

戻り値の型:

list[qiskit.circuit.parameterexpression.ParameterExpression]

permute_indices(permutation)

Permutes the indices of the operator.

This method applies the provided index permutation to all labels of this operator. The provided permutation must be a sequence of integers whose length is equal to the register_length of the operator. The integer at any given index of the sequence indicates the new index which that location will be permuted to. For example:

op = SparseLabelOp({"+_0 -_1 +_2 -_3": 1.0})
permuted_op = op.permute_indices([3, 1, 0, 2])
assert permuted_op == SparseLabelOp({"+_3 -_1 +_0 -_2": 1.0})

警告

This permutation utility is very powerful. Be mindful of the implications such a permutation might have on other components of the stack. To name an example, the builtin two-qubit reduction of the ParityMapper might not yield the expected results when used on permuted operator.

パラメータ:

permutation (Sequence[int]) – a sequence of integers indicating the permutation to be applied. See above for an example.

戻り値:

A new operator instance with the permuted indices.

例外:

ValueError – if the length of the permutation argument does not equal register_length.

戻り値の型:

SparseLabelOp

power(n)

Return the compose of a operator with itself n times.

パラメータ:

n (int) – the number of times to compose with self (n>0).

戻り値:

the n-times composed operator.

戻り値の型:

Clifford

例外:

QiskitError – if the input and output dimensions of the operator are not equal, or the power is not a positive integer.

round(decimals=0)

Rounds the operator coefficients to a specified number of decimal places.

パラメータ:

decimals (int) – the number of decimal places to round coefficients to. By default this will round to the nearest integer value.

戻り値:

The rounded operator.

戻り値の型:

SparseLabelOp

abstract simplify(atol=None)

Simplify the operator.

The simplifications implemented by this method should be: - to eliminate terms whose coefficients are close (w.r.t. atol) to 0. - to combine the coefficients which correspond to equivalent terms (see also the note below)

注釈

simplify() should be used to simplify terms whose coefficients are close to zero, up to the specified numerical tolerance. It still differs slightly from chop() because that will chop real and imaginary part components individually.

注釈

The meaning of 「equivalence」 between multiple terms depends on the specific operator subclass. As a restriction this method is required to preserve the order of appearance of the different components within a term. This avoids some possibly unexpected edge cases. However, this also means that some equivalencies cannot be detected. Check for other methods of a specific subclass which may affect the order of terms and can allow for further simplifications to be implemented.

This method returns a new operator (the original operator is not modified).

パラメータ:

atol (float | None) – Absolute numerical tolerance. The default behavior is to use self.atol.

戻り値:

The simplified operator.

戻り値の型:

SparseLabelOp

sort(*, weight=False)

Returns a new sorted operator.

パラメータ:

weight (bool) – when True, the returned keys will sort this operator according to the coefficient weights of the stored terms; when False, the keys will sort the operator by its keys (i.e. lexicographically).

戻り値:

A new operator instance with its contents sorted.

戻り値の型:

SparseLabelOp

abstract tensor(other)

Returns the tensor product with another SparseLabelOp.

パラメータ:

other (SparseLabelOp) – the other SparseLabelOp.

戻り値:

The operator resulting from the tensor product, \(self \otimes other\).

戻り値の型:

SparseLabelOp

注釈

The tensor product can be obtained using the ^ binary operator. Hence a.tensor(b) is equivalent to a ^ b.

abstract terms()

Provides an iterator analogous to items() but with the labels already split into pairs of operation characters and indices.

列挙:

A tuple with two items; the first one being a list of pairs of the form (char, int) where char represents the operation applied to the register and the integer corresponds to the register index on which the operator gets applied; the second item of the returned tuple is the coefficient of this term.

戻り値の型:

Iterator[tuple[list[tuple[str, int]], Union[complex, qiskit.circuit.parameterexpression.ParameterExpression]]]
