FermionicTransformation
class FermionicTransformation(transformation=<FermionicTransformationType.FULL: 'full'>, qubit_mapping=<FermionicQubitMappingType.PARITY: 'parity'>, two_qubit_reduction=True, freeze_core=False, orbital_reduction=None, z2symmetry_reduction=None)
Bases: qiskit.chemistry.transformations.transformation.Transformation
A transformation from a fermionic problem, represented by a driver, to a qubit operator.
Parameters
- transformation (
FermionicTransformationType) – full or particle_hole - qubit_mapping (
FermionicQubitMappingType) – ‘jordan_wigner’, ‘parity’ or ‘bravyi_kitaev’ - two_qubit_reduction (
bool) – Whether two qubit reduction should be used, when parity mapping only - freeze_core (
bool) – Whether to freeze core orbitals when possible - orbital_reduction (
Optional[List[int]]) – Orbital list to be frozen or removed - z2symmetry_reduction (
Union[str,List[int],None]) – If z2 symmetry reduction should be applied to resulting qubit operators that are computed. For each symmetry detected the operator will be split in two where each requires one qubit less for computation. So for example 3 symmetries will split in the original operator into 8 new operators each requiring 3 less qubits. Now only one of these operators will have the ground state and be the correct symmetry sector needed for the ground state. Setting ‘auto’ will use an automatic computation of the correct sector. If from other experiments, with the z2symmetry logic, the sector is known, then the tapering values of that sector can be provided (a list of int of values -1, and 1). The default is None meaning no symmetry reduction is done. Note that dipole and other operators such as spin, num particles etc are also symmetry reduced according to the symmetries found in the main operator if this operator commutes with the main operator symmetry. If it does not then the operator will be discarded since no meaningful measurement can take place.
Raises
QiskitChemistryError – Invalid symmetry reduction
Methods
build_hopping_operators
FermionicTransformation.build_hopping_operators(excitations='sd')
Builds the product of raising and lowering operators (basic excitation operators)
Parameters
excitations (Union[str, List[List[int]]]) – The excitations to be included in the eom pseudo-eigenvalue problem. If a string (‘s’, ‘d’ or ‘sd’) then all excitations of the given type will be used. Otherwise a list of custom excitations can directly be provided.
Return type
Tuple[Dict[str, WeightedPauliOperator], Dict[str, List[bool]], Dict[str, List[Any]]]
Returns
A tuple containing the hopping operators, the types of commutativities and the excitation indices.
get_default_filter_criterion
FermionicTransformation.get_default_filter_criterion()
Returns a default filter criterion method to filter the eigenvalues computed by the eigen solver. For more information see also aqua.algorithms.eigen_solvers.NumPyEigensolver.filter_criterion.
In the fermionic case the default filter ensures that the number of particles is being preserved.
Return type
Optional[Callable[[Union[List, ndarray], float, Optional[List[float]]], bool]]
interpret
FermionicTransformation.interpret(raw_result)
Interprets an EigenstateResult in the context of this transformation.
Parameters
raw_result (Union[EigenstateResult, EigensolverResult, MinimumEigensolverResult]) – an eigenstate result object.
Return type
ElectronicStructureResult
Returns
An electronic structure result.
transform
FermionicTransformation.transform(driver, aux_operators=None)
Transformation from the driver to a qubit operator.
Parameters
- driver (
BaseDriver) – A driver encoding the molecule information. - aux_operators (
Optional[List[FermionicOperator]]) – Additional auxiliaryFermionicOperatorinstances to evaluate.
Return type
Tuple[OperatorBase, List[OperatorBase]]
Returns
A qubit operator and a dictionary of auxiliary operators.
Attributes

Getter of the commutation rule
Return type

molecule_info
Getter of the molecule information.
Return type
Dict[str, Any]
qubit_mapping
Getter of the qubit mapping.
Return type
str
untapered_qubit_op
Getter for the untapered qubit operator
