SamplingMinimumEigensolver
class SamplingMinimumEigensolver
Bases: abc.ABC
The Sampling Minimum Eigensolver Interface.
Methods
compute_minimum_eigenvalue
abstract SamplingMinimumEigensolver.compute_minimum_eigenvalue(operator, aux_operators=None)
Compute the minimum eigenvalue of a diagonal operator.
Parameters
- operator (BaseOperator | PauliSumOp) – Diagonal qubit operator.
- aux_operators (ListOrDict[BaseOperator | PauliSumOp] | None) – Optional list of auxiliary operators to be evaluated with the final state.
Return type
SamplingMinimumEigensolverResult
Returns
A SamplingMinimumEigensolverResult containing the optimization result.
supports_aux_operators
classmethod SamplingMinimumEigensolver.supports_aux_operators()
Whether computing the expectation value of auxiliary operators is supported.
If the minimum eigensolver computes an eigenstate of the main operator then it can compute the expectation value of the aux_operators for that state. Otherwise they will be ignored.
Return type
bool
Returns
True if aux_operator expectations can be evaluated, False otherwise
