cirq.testing.random_orthogonal

Returns a random orthogonal matrix distributed with Haar measure.

Main aliases

cirq.testing.lin_alg_utils.random_orthogonal

cirq.testing.random_orthogonal(
    dim: int, *, random_state: 'cirq.RANDOM_STATE_OR_SEED_LIKE' = None
) -> np.ndarray

Args
`dim`	The width and height of the matrix.
`random_state`	A seed (int) or `np.random.RandomState` class to use when generating random values. If not set, defaults to using the module methods in `np.random`.

Returns
The sampled orthogonal matrix.
