Thanks @stavros11 for adding the example. The tests are not passing because expectation_from_samples()
only works when the observable is diagonal in the z basis as you mentioned, and XXZ()
is not. I have pending to generalize this function #852 and I will do it at some point in August.

Thanks. Just a few more comments. When adding the three CNOTs, you have to replace c
--> circuit
To use expectation_from_samples()
we have to add measurement gates because the expected value is calculated from frequencies.
Thanks for the fixes @AlejandroSopena. I had them locally in my computer but forgot to push. I hope it is okay now. |
Fixes #935. Specifically:
nqubits
attribute was added toSymbolicHamiltonian
as suggested in Wrong results usingSymbolicHamiltonian
#935 (comment). Note that the effect of this is still equivalent to padding, for exampleSymbolicHamiltonian(Z(0) * Z(1), nqubits=4)
is equivalent toSymbolicHamiltonian(Z(0) * Z(1) * I(2) * I(3))
.ValueError
is raised if there is a mismatch between the number of qubits in the state and the Hamiltonian in expectation value calculations.expectation_from_samples
was added (@AlejandroSopena let me know if that is okay).Checklist:
