TrotterizationBase
class TrotterizationBase(reps=1)
Bases: qiskit.opflow.evolutions.evolution_base.EvolutionBase
A base for Trotterization methods, algorithms for approximating exponentiations of operator sums by compositions of exponentiations.
Methods Defined Here
convert
abstract TrotterizationBase.convert(operator)
Convert a SummedOp into a ComposedOp or CircuitOp representing an approximation of e^-i*``op_sum``.
Parameters
operator (OperatorBase) – The SummedOp to evolve.
Return type
OperatorBase
Returns
The Operator approximating op_sum’s evolution.
Raises
TypeError – A non-SummedOps Operator is passed into convert.
Attributes
reps
The number of repetitions to use in the Trotterization, improving the approximation accuracy.
Return type
int
