q_state¶

Contains classes for qubit and qubit base states.

class qualg.q_state.BaseQuditState(digits, base=2)¶

__init__(digits, base=2)¶

A qudit base state.

Parameters

digits (str) – A string of the digits representing the base state, e.g “010”. Which digits in the range 0..(base-1).
(optional) (base) – How many basis states there are per position, e.g. 2 (defualt) for qubits.

property shape¶

Returns the shape of the state, e.q. (2,) for a qubit.

None means that the shape is undefined, e.g. if the state is infinite-dimensional.

inner_product(other)¶

Takes the inner product with another BaseState.

Parameters: other (BaseState) – The right hand side of the inner product.
Returns: The inner product
Return type: class`~.scalar.Scalar`

tensor_product(other)¶

Takes the tensor product with another BaseState.

Parameters: other (BaseState) – The right hand side of the tensor product.
Returns: The tensor product
Return type: BaseState

class qualg.q_state.BaseQubitState(digits)¶

__init__(digits)¶

A qubit base state. (same as BaseQuditState except that ‘base’ is fixed to 2)

Parameters: digits (str) – A string of the digits representing the base state, e.g “010”. Which digits in the range 0..1.
