Proyección del operador de Pauli de referencia

Acción de la cuerda de Pauli en un estado fundamental computacional

La acción de una cuerda de Pauli sobre un estado de base computacional es bastante trivial, y constituye en sí misma un único estado de base computacional. Esto es una consecuencia directa de la estructura de las matrices de Pauli, que solo tienen un único elemento distinto de cero en cada una de sus filas. Por lo tanto, su acción sobre un qubit es:


σx0=1\sigma_x |0 \rangle = |1 \rangle σx1=0\sigma_x |1 \rangle = |0 \rangle
σy0=i1\sigma_y |0 \rangle = i|1 \rangle σy1=i0\sigma_y |1 \rangle = -i|0 \rangle
σz0=0\sigma_z |0 \rangle = |0 \rangle σz1=1\sigma_z |1 \rangle = -|1 \rangle
I0=0I |0 \rangle = |0 \rangle I1=1I |1 \rangle = |1 \rangle

Cada bit de la cadena de bits que identifica la base computacional se etiquetará con un x{0,1}x \in \{0, 1 \} e. Para que la implementación sea lo más ligera posible, representaremos las cadenas de bits con bool las variables: 0False0\rightarrow \textrm{False} y 1True1\rightarrow \textrm{True}.

Para representar la acción de cada operador de Pauli en un estado de base computacional, le asignaremos tres variables: diag, sign, imag.

  • diag indica si el operador es diagonal:

    • diag(I)=True\textrm{diag}(I) = \textrm{True}
    • diag(σx)=False\textrm{diag}(\sigma_x) = \textrm{False}
    • diag(σy)=False\textrm{diag}(\sigma_y) = \textrm{False}
    • diag(σz)=True\textrm{diag}(\sigma_z) = \textrm{True}
  • sign Determina si se produce un cambio de signo en el elemento de la matriz asociado al 0 o al 1:

    • sign(I)=False\textrm{sign}(I) = \textrm{False}
    • sign(σx)=False\textrm{sign}(\sigma_x) = \textrm{False}
    • sign(σy)=True\textrm{sign}(\sigma_y) = \textrm{True}
    • sign(σz)=True\textrm{sign}(\sigma_z) = \textrm{True}
  • imag Indica si el elemento de la matriz contiene un componente complejo:

    • imag(I)=False\textrm{imag}(I) = \textrm{False}
    • imag(σx)=False\textrm{imag}(\sigma_x) = \textrm{False}
    • imag(σy)=True\textrm{imag}(\sigma_y) = \textrm{True}
    • imag(σz)=False\textrm{imag}(\sigma_z) = \textrm{False}

Denominamos « σ{I,σx,σyσz}\sigma \in \{ I, \sigma_x, \sigma_y \sigma_z\} » a un operador de Pauli arbitrario. La acción del operador de Pauli sobre un estado de base computacional puede representarse entonces mediante la operación lógica:

σx=x==diag(σ)(1)x and sign(σ)(i)imag(σ).\sigma |x \rangle = |x == \textrm{diag}(\sigma) \rangle (-1)^{x\textrm{ and sign}(\sigma)} (i)^{\textrm{imag}(\sigma)}.

Esto se generaliza directamente a un número arbitrario de qubits.

Comprobemos si esto funciona:

def connected_element_and_amplitude_bool(
    x: bool, diag: bool, sign: bool, imag: bool
) -> tuple[bool, complex]:
    """
    Finds the connected element to computational basis state |x> under
    the action of the Pauli operator represented by (diag, sign, imag).

    Args:
        x: Value of the bit, either True or False.
        diag: Whether the Pauli operator is diagonal (I, Z)
        sigma: Whether the Pauli operator's rows differ in sign (Y, Z)
        imag: Whether the Pauli operator is purely imaginary (Y)

    Returns:
        A length-2 tuple:
            - The connected element to x, either False or True
            - The matrix element
    """
    return x == diag, (-1) ** (x and sign) * (1j) ** (imag)


sigma_indices = [0, 1, 2, 3]
sigma_string = ["I", "SX", "SZ", "SY"]
sigma_diag = [True, False, True, False]
sigma_sign = [False, False, True, True]
sigma_imag = [False, False, False, True]
qubit_values = [False, True]

for xi in sigma_indices:
    print("-------------------")
    print(sigma_string[xi])
    for x in qubit_values:
        x_p, matrix_element = connected_element_and_amplitude_bool(
            x, sigma_diag[xi], sigma_sign[xi], sigma_imag[xi]
        )
        print(
            "|"
            + str(x)
            + "> -->  |"
            + str(x_p)
            + ">    ME:"
            + str(matrix_element)
        )

Output:

-------------------

Generamos un gran número de cadenas de bits (50 M) para un sistema de 40 qubits:

import numpy as np
from qiskit_addon_sqd.qubit import sort_and_remove_duplicates

rand_seed = 22
np.random.seed(rand_seed)

# Generate some random bitstrings for testing


def random_bitstrings(n_samples, n_qubits):
    return (
        np.round(np.random.rand(n_samples, n_qubits))
        .astype("int")
        .astype("bool")
    )


n_qubits = 40
bts_matrix = random_bitstrings(50_000_000, n_qubits)

# We need to sort the bitstrings and only keep the unique ones
# NOTE: It is essential for the projection code to have the bitstrings sorted!
bts_matrix = sort_and_remove_duplicates(bts_matrix).astype("bool")

# Final subspace dimension after getting rid of duplicated bitstrings
d = bts_matrix.shape[0]

print("Total number of unique bitstrings: " + str(d))

Output:

Total number of unique bitstrings: 49998839
