Function for tensor combination
Create a function that allows the user to take all tensor combinations of a set of states of size k:
def tensor_comb(states: list[np.ndarray], k: int) -> dict:
"""
Create a tensor combination (quantum sequence) from a set of states.
Args:
states: A dictionary of states where keys are state identifiers and values are state vectors.
k: The length of the sequence.
Returns:
A dictionary of tensor products representing the quantum sequence.
"""
# Generate all possible functions σ from [k] to [n]. This is equivalent to
# generating all possible sequences of length k.
possible_sequences = list(itertools.product(range(len(states)), repeat=k))
# Convert sequences of state identifiers to sequences of state vectors.
sequences_of_states = {}
for seq in possible_sequences:
state_sequence = [states[i] for i in seq]
# Calculate the tensor product of the state vectors.
sequence_tensor_product = np.array(state_sequence[0])
for state in state_sequence[1:]:
sequence_tensor_product = np.kron(sequence_tensor_product, state)
sequences_of_states[seq] = vector_to_density_matrix(sequence_tensor_product)
return sequences_of_states
This can be placed within matrix_ops/ and would require appropriate testing coverage as well.
