Eigensolver
class qiskit.algorithms.Eigensolver
Bases: ABC
Deprecated: Eigensolver Interface.
The Eigensolver interface has been superseded by the qiskit.algorithms.eigensolvers.Eigensolver interface. This interface will be deprecated in a future release and subsequently removed after that.
Algorithms that can compute eigenvalues for an operator may implement this interface to allow different algorithms to be used interchangeably.
The class qiskit.algorithms.eigen_solvers.eigen_solver.Eigensolver is deprecated as of qiskit 0.24.0. It will be removed no earlier than 3 months after the release date. Instead, use the interface qiskit.algorithms.eigensolvers.Eigensolver. See https://qisk.it/algo_migration for a migration guide.
Methods
compute_eigenvalues
abstract compute_eigenvalues(operator, 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 (OperatorBase) – Qubit operator of the Observable
- aux_operators (ListOrDict[OperatorBase] | None) – Optional list of auxiliary operators to be evaluated with the eigenstate of the minimum eigenvalue main result and their expectation values returned. For instance in chemistry these can be dipole operators, total particle count operators so we can get values for these at the ground state.
Returns
EigensolverResult
Return type
supports_aux_operators
classmethod supports_aux_operators()
Whether computing the expectation value of auxiliary operators is supported.
Returns
True if aux_operator expectations can be evaluated, False otherwise
Return type
