MatrixEvolution
class MatrixEvolution
Performs Evolution by classical matrix exponentiation, constructing a circuit with UnitaryGates
or HamiltonianGates
containing the exponentiation of the Operator.
Methods
convert
MatrixEvolution.convert(operator)
Traverse the operator, replacing EvolvedOps
with CircuitOps
containing UnitaryGates
or HamiltonianGates
(if self.coeff is a ParameterExpression
) equalling the exponentiation of -i * operator. This is done by converting the EvolvedOp.primitive
to a MatrixOp
and simply calling .exp_i()
on that.
Parameters
operator (OperatorBase
) – The Operator to convert.
Return type
Returns
The converted operator.
