GitHub

Bases: DerivativeBase

Deprecated: Base class for the Hessian of an expected value.

Deprecated since version 0.24.0

The class qiskit.opflow.gradients.hessian_base.HessianBase 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.

Parameters

  • hess_method (str |CircuitGradient) – The method used to compute the state/probability gradient. Can be either 'param_shift' or 'lin_comb' or 'fin_diff'. Ignored for gradients w.r.t observable parameters.
  • kwargs (dict) – Optional parameters for a CircuitGradient

Raises

ValueError – If method != fin_diff and epsilon is not None.

Attributes

hess_method

Returns CircuitGradient.

Returns

CircuitGradient.
