Returns a maximum on the trace distance between this effect's input and output.
cirq.trace_distance_bound(
val: Any
) -> float
This method attempts a number of strategies to calculate this value.
Strategy 1 |
|---|
Use the effect's _trace_distance_bound_ method.
|
Strategy 2 |
|---|
|
If the effect is unitary, calculate the trace distance bound from the
eigenvalues of the unitary matrix.
|
Args |
|---|
val
|
The effect of which the bound should be calculated
|
Returns |
|---|
|
If any of the strategies return a result that is not Notimplemented and
not None, that result is returned. Otherwise, 1.0 is returned.
Result is capped at a maximum of 1.0, even if the underlying function
produces a result greater than 1.0
