BaseTransformer#

class BaseTransformer[source]#

Bases: ABC

The interface for implementing methods which map from one BaseProblem to another. These methods may affect the size of the Hilbert space.

Methods

abstract transform(problem)[source]#

Transforms one BaseProblem into another. This may affect the size of the Hilbert space.

Parameters:: problem (BaseProblem) – the problem to be transformed.
Raises:: NotImplementedError – when an unsupported problem type is provided.
Returns:: A new BaseProblem instance.
Return type:: BaseProblem

abstract transform_hamiltonian(hamiltonian)[source]#

Transforms one Hamiltonian into another. This may affect the size of the Hilbert space.

Parameters:: hamiltonian (Hamiltonian) – the hamiltonian to be transformed.
Raises:: NotImplementedError – when an unsupported hamiltonian type is provided.
Returns:: A new Hamiltonian instance.
Return type:: Hamiltonian
