Eigensolver
class Eigensolver
Bases: abc.ABC
The Eigensolver Interface.
Algorithms that can compute eigenvalues for an operator may implement this interface to allow different algorithms to be used interchangeably.
Methods
compute_eigenvalues
abstract Eigensolver.compute_eigenvalues(operator=None, aux_operators=None)
Computes eigenvalues. Operator and aux_operators can be supplied here and if not None will override any already set into algorithm so it can be reused with different operators. While an operator is required by algorithms, aux_operators are optional. To ‘remove’ a previous aux_operators array use an empty list here.
Parameters
- operator (
Union[OperatorBase,LegacyBaseOperator,None]) – If not None replaces operator in algorithm - aux_operators (
Optional[List[Union[OperatorBase,LegacyBaseOperator,None]]]) – If not None replaces aux_operators in algorithm
Return type
EigensolverResult
Returns
EigensolverResult
supports_aux_operators
classmethod Eigensolver.supports_aux_operators()
Whether computing the expectation value of auxiliary operators is supported.
Return type
bool
Returns
True if aux_operator expectations can be evaluated, False otherwise
Attributes
