EvolutionBase
class EvolutionBase
Bases: qiskit.opflow.converters.converter_base.ConverterBase
, abc.ABC
A base for Evolution converters. Evolutions are converters which traverse an Operator tree, replacing any EvolvedOp
e with a Schrodinger equation-style evolution CircuitOp
equalling or approximating the matrix exponential of -i * the Operator contained inside (e.primitive). The Evolutions are essentially implementations of Hamiltonian Simulation algorithms, including various methods for Trotterization.
