FermionSimulator

class FermionSimulator(config_dict=None, provider=None)

A simulator to simulate general fermionic circuits.

This general fermion simulator backend simulates fermionic circuits with gates that have generators described by fermionic Hamiltonians. It computes the statevector and unitary of a circuit and simulates measurements.
