ImaginaryEvolver

Bases: abc.ABC

Pending deprecation: Interface for Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution.

The ImaginaryEvolver interface has been superseded by the qiskit.algorithms.time_evolvers.ImaginaryTimeEvolver interface. This interface will be deprecated in a future release and subsequently removed after that.

Methods

evolve

abstract ImaginaryEvolver.evolve(evolution_problem)

Perform imaginary time evolution $\exp(-\tau H)|\Psi\rangle$ .

Evolves an initial state $|\Psi\rangle$ for an imaginary time $\tau$ under a Hamiltonian $H$ , as provided in the evolution_problem.

Parameters

evolution_problem (EvolutionProblem) – The definition of the evolution problem.

Return type

EvolutionResult

Returns

Evolution result which includes an evolved quantum state.
