CircuitState
class CircuitState
Bases: State
An MPO-like representation of a time-evolution state based on quantum circuits.
This time-evolution state can be evolved on its left- and right-hand side as required by the DynamicMPF algorithm.
Initialize a CircuitState instance.
Attributes
lhs
Type: Circuit | None
The left-hand side circuit in form of a tensor network.
rhs
Type: Circuit | None
The right-hand side circuit in form of a tensor network.
Methods
overlap
overlap(initial_state)
Compute the overlap of this state with the provided initial state.
This implementation only supports instances of qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit for initial_state.
Parameters
initial_state (Any) – the initial state with which to compute the overlap.
Raises
TypeError – if the provided initial state has an incompatible type.
Returns
The overlap of this state with the provided one.
Return type
