QubitMapper

class QubitMapper

Bases: ABC

The interface for implementing methods which map from a SparseLabelOp to a qubit operator in the form of a SparsePauliOp.

Methods

map(second_q_ops, *, register_length=None)

Maps a second quantized operator or a list, dict of second quantized operators based on the current mapper.

Parámetros:

• second_q_ops (SparseLabelOp | List[SparseLabelOp | None] | Dict[str, SparseLabelOp]) – A second quantized operator, or list thereof.

• register_length (int | None) – when provided, this will be used to overwrite the register_length attribute of the SparseLabelOp being mapped. This is possible because the register_length is considered a lower bound in a SparseLabelOp.

Devuelve:

A qubit operator in the form of a SparsePauliOp, or list (resp. dict) thereof if a list (resp. dict) of second quantized operators was supplied.

Tipo del valor devuelto:

SparsePauliOp | List[SparsePauliOp | None] | Dict[str, SparsePauliOp]

classmethod mode_based_mapping(second_q_op, register_length=None)

Utility method to map a SparseLabelOp to a qubit operator using a pauli table.

Parámetros:

• second_q_op (SparseLabelOp) – the SparseLabelOp to be mapped.

• register_length (int | None) – when provided, this will be used to overwrite the register_length attribute of the operator being mapped. This is possible because the register_length is considered a lower bound.

Devuelve:

The qubit operator corresponding to the problem-Hamiltonian in the qubit space.

Muestra:

QiskitNatureError – If number length of pauli table does not match the number of operator modes, or if the operator has unexpected label content

Tipo del valor devuelto:

SparsePauliOp

classmethod pauli_table(register_length)

Generates a Pauli-lookup table mapping from modes to pauli pairs.

The generated table is processed by QubitMapper.sparse_pauli_operators().

Parámetros:

register_length (int) – the register length for which to generate the table.

Devuelve:

A list of tuples in which the first and second Pauli operator the real and imaginary Pauli strings, respectively.

Tipo del valor devuelto:

list[tuple[qiskit.quantum_info.operators.symplectic.pauli.Pauli, qiskit.quantum_info.operators.symplectic.pauli.Pauli]]

classmethod sparse_pauli_operators(register_length)

Generates the cached SparsePauliOp terms.

This uses QubitMapper.pauli_table() to construct a list of operators used to translate the second-quantization symbols into qubit operators.

Parámetros:

register_length (int) – the register length for which to generate the operators.

Devuelve:

Two lists stored in a tuple, consisting of the creation and annihilation operators, applied on the individual modes.

Tipo del valor devuelto:

tuple[list[qiskit.quantum_info.operators.symplectic.sparse_pauli_op.SparsePauliOp], list[qiskit.quantum_info.operators.symplectic.sparse_pauli_op.SparsePauliOp]]
