qml.BoseSentence

class BoseSentence(operator)[source]

Bases: dict

Dictionary used to represent a Bose sentence, a linear combination of Bose words, with the keys as BoseWord instances and the values correspond to coefficients.

>>> w1 = qml.BoseWord({(0, 0) : '+', (1, 1) : '-'})
>>> w2 = qml.BoseWord({(0, 1) : '+', (1, 2) : '-'})
>>> s = qml.BoseSentence({w1 : 1.2, w2: 3.1})
>>> print(s)
1.2 * b⁺(0) b(1)
+ 3.1 * b⁺(1) b(2)

wires

Return wires of the BoseSentence.
wires

Return wires of the BoseSentence.

adjoint()

Return the adjoint of BoseSentence.

clear()

copy()

fromkeys([value])

Create a new dictionary with keys from iterable and values set to value.

get(key[, default])

Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.

items()

keys()

normal_order()

Convert a BoseSentence to its normal-ordered form.

pop(k[,d])

If the key is not found, return the default if given; otherwise, raise a KeyError.

popitem()

Remove and return a (key, value) pair as a 2-tuple.

setdefault(key[, default])

Insert key with a value of default if key is not in the dictionary.

simplify([tol])

Remove any BoseWords in the BoseSentence with coefficients less than the threshold tolerance.

update([E, ]**F)

If E is present and has a .keys() method, then does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E is present and lacks a .keys() method, then does: for k, v in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]

values()

adjoint()[source]

Return the adjoint of BoseSentence.

clear() → None.  Remove all items from D.
copy() → a shallow copy of D
fromkeys(value=None, /)

Create a new dictionary with keys from iterable and values set to value.

get(key, default=None, /)

Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.

items() → a set-like object providing a view on D's items
keys() → a set-like object providing a view on D's keys
normal_order()[source]

Convert a BoseSentence to its normal-ordered form.

>>> bw = qml.BoseWord({(0, 0): "-", (1, 0): "-", (2, 0): "+", (3, 0): "+"})
>>> bs = qml.BoseSentence({bw: 1})
>>> print(bs.normal_order())
2.0 * I
+ 4.0 * b⁺(0) b(0)
+ 1.0 * b⁺(0) b⁺(0) b(0) b(0)
pop(k[, d]) → v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value.

If the key is not found, return the default if given; otherwise, raise a KeyError.

popitem()

Remove and return a (key, value) pair as a 2-tuple.

Pairs are returned in LIFO (last-in, first-out) order. Raises KeyError if the dict is empty.

setdefault(key, default=None, /)

Insert key with a value of default if key is not in the dictionary.

Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.

simplify(tol=1e-08)[source]

Remove any BoseWords in the BoseSentence with coefficients less than the threshold tolerance.

update([E, ]**F) → None.  Update D from dict/iterable E and F.

If E is present and has a .keys() method, then does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E is present and lacks a .keys() method, then does: for k, v in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]

values() → an object providing a view on D's values
