Method for exact calculation of expected values of Pauli operators by means of a MPS

Open smiserman opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

What is the expected behavior?

I have seen that there is a function in the C++ code of the matrix product state to calculate exactly an expectation value of Pauli operators (sequential contraction of the MPS and adjoint MPS over the Pauli operators). However, I cannot find any method that takes this into account. I don't think that qiskit.primitives.Estimator calls this method.
