qiskit.quantum_info.entropy

entropy(state, base=2)

GitHub

Calculate the von-Neumann entropy of a quantum state.

The entropy SS is given by

S(ρ)=−Tr[ρlog⁡(ρ)]S(\rho) = - Tr[\rho \log(\rho)]

Parameters

Returns

The von-Neumann entropy S(rho).

Return type

float

Raises

QiskitError – if the input state is not a valid QuantumState.
