qib.operator.gates.TimeEvolutionGate

class qib.operator.gates.TimeEvolutionGate(h: AbstractOperator, t: float)

Bases: Gate

Quantum time evolution gate, i.e., matrix exponential, given a Hamiltonian h: \(e^{-i h t}\).

Methods

as_circuit_matrix	Generate the sparse matrix representation of the gate as element of a quantum circuit.
as_matrix	Generate the matrix representation of the time evolution gate.
as_qasm	Generate a Qobj OpenQASM representation of the gate.
as_tensornet	Generate a tensor network representation of the gate.
fields	Return the list of fields hosting the quantum particles which the gate acts on.
inverse	Return the inverse operator.
is_hermitian	Whether the gate is Hermitian.
is_unitary	A quantum gate is unitary by definition.
particles	Return the list of quantum particles the gate acts on.
