MatrixExponential
class qiskit.synthesis.MatrixExponential
Bases: EvolutionSynthesis
Exact operator evolution via matrix exponentiation and unitary synthesis.
This class synthesis the exponential of operators by calculating their exponentially-sized matrix representation and using exact matrix exponentiation followed by unitary synthesis to obtain a circuit. This process is not scalable and serves as comparison or benchmark for small systems.
Attributes
settings
Return the settings in a dictionary, which can be used to reconstruct the object.
Returns
A dictionary containing the settings of this product formula.
Raises
NotImplementedError – The interface does not implement this method.
Methods
synthesize
synthesize(evolution)
Synthesize an qiskit.circuit.library.PauliEvolutionGate
.
Parameters
evolution (PauliEvolutionGate) – The evolution gate to synthesize.
Returns
A circuit implementing the evolution.
