qml.math.block_diag

block_diag(values, like=None)[source]

Combine a sequence of 2D tensors to form a block diagonal tensor.

Parameters

values (Sequence[tensor_like]) – Sequence of 2D arrays/tensors to form the block diagonal tensor.

Returns

the block diagonal tensor

Return type

tensor_like

Example

>>> t = [
...     np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]]),
...     torch.tensor([[1, 2, 3], [-1, -6, -3]]),
...     torch.tensor([[5]])
... ]
>>> qml.math.block_diag(t)
tensor([[ 1,  2,  0,  0,  0,  0],
        [ 3,  4,  0,  0,  0,  0],
        [ 0,  0,  1,  2,  3,  0],
        [ 0,  0, -1, -6, -3,  0],
        [ 0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  5]])
