qml.liealg

Overview

This module contains Lie algebra functionality.

Functions

lie_closure(generators, *[, max_iterations, ...])	Compute the dynamical Lie algebra from a set of generators.
structure_constants(g[, pauli, matrix, ...])	Compute the structure constants that make up the adjoint representation of a Lie algebra.
center(g[, pauli])	A function to compute the center of a Lie algebra.
