qat.fermion.transforms.transform_to_jw_basis

qat.fermion.transforms.transform_to_jw_basis(fermion_hamiltonian: Union[FermionHamiltonian, ElectronicStructureHamiltonian]) → SpinHamiltonian

Transform to Jordan-Wigner (JW) basis.

Parameters

fermion_hamiltonian (Union[FermionHamiltonian, ElectronicStructureHamiltonian]) – The fermionic hamiltonian.

Returns

Hamiltonian in spin representation.

Return type

SpinHamiltonian

Examples:

from qat.core import Term
from qat.fermion import FermionHamiltonian
from qat.fermion.transforms import transform_to_jw_basis

hamiltonian = FermionHamiltonian(
    2, [Term(0.3, "Cc", [0, 1]), Term(1.4, "CcCc", [0, 1, 1, 0])])

spin_hamiltonian = transform_to_jw_basis(hamiltonian)

print(f"H = {hamiltonian} \n")
print(f"H(spin) = {spin_hamiltonian}")

H = 0.3 * (Cc|[0, 1]) +
