Hessian

class qiskit.opflow.gradients.Hessian(hess_method='param_shift', **kwargs)

GitHub

Bases: HessianBase

Deprecated: Compute the Hessian of an expected value.

Deprecated since version 0.24.0

The class qiskit.opflow.gradients.hessian.Hessian is deprecated as of qiskit-terra 0.24.0. It will be removed in the Qiskit 1.0 release. For code migration guidelines, visit https://qisk.it/opflow_migration.


Attributes

hess_method

Returns CircuitGradient.

Returns

CircuitGradient.


Methods

convert

convert(operator, params=None)

Parameters

Returns

An operator whose evaluation yields the Hessian

Return type

OperatorBase

get_hessian

get_hessian(operator, params=None)

Get the Hessian for the given operator w.r.t. the given parameters

Parameters

Returns

Operator which represents the gradient w.r.t. the given params.

Raises

  • ValueError – If params contains a parameter not present in operator.
  • ValueError – If operator is not parameterized.
  • OpflowError – If the coefficient of the operator could not be reduced to 1.
  • OpflowError – If the differentiation of a combo_fn requires JAX but the package is not installed.
  • TypeError – If the operator does not include a StateFn given by a quantum circuit
  • TypeError – If the parameters were given in an unsupported format.
  • Exception – Unintended code is reached
  • MissingOptionalLibraryError – jax not installed

Return type

OperatorBase
