embed_operators

Graph.embed_operators(operators, dimensions, *, name=None)

Embed an operator or set of operators into a larger Hilbert space.

Parameters

  • operators (list [ tuple [ np.ndarray or Tensor , int ] ] or tuple [ np.ndarray or Tensor , int ]) – A tuple or a list of tuples that contain pairs of the operators to be embedded and their corresponding positions in the full space. The positions must be non-negative integers less than the length of the dimensions list. The operators must be at least 2D and can contain leading batch dimensions. The dimension of the operators must match the value of the dimensions list at the given position.
  • dimensions (list [ int ]) – The dimensions of each subspace.
  • name (str or none , optional) – The name of the node.

Returns

The operators embedded into the full Hilbert space. The dimension of the Hilbert space of the output is equal to the product of the elements of the dimensions list.

Return type

Tensor

Notes

This function computes A1⊗A2⊗...A_1 \otimes A_2 \otimes ... where AiA_i is either the operator passed for position ii (if given) or an identity matrix. The dimension of AiA_i corresponds to the ii

Examples

Embed a single operator.

>>> sigma_z = graph.pauli_matrix("Z")
>>> graph.embed_operators((sigma_z, 0), [2, 3], name="Z0")
<Tensor: name="Z0", operation_name="embed_operators", shape=(6, 6)>
>>> result = bo.execute_graph(graph=graph, output_node_names="Z0")
>>> result["output"]["Z0"]["value"]
array([[ 1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
       [ 0.+0.j,  1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
       [ 0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
       [ 0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j, -1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
       [ 0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j, -1.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
       [ 0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j, -1.+0.j]])

Embed multiple operators.

>>> number_op = graph.number_operator(2)
>>> sigma_x = graph.pauli_matrix("X")
>>> graph.embed_operators([(number_op, 0), (sigma_x, 2)], [2, 2, 2], name="N0X2")
<Tensor: name="N0X2", operation_name="embed_operators", shape=(8, 8)>
>>> result = bo.execute_graph(graph=graph, output_node_names="N0X2")
>>> result["output"]["N0X2"]["value"]
array([[0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j],
       [0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j],
       [0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j],
       [0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j],
       [0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 1.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j],
       [0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 1.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j],
       [0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 1.+0.j],
       [0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 1.+0.j, 0.+0.j]])
