The interaction operator that is the sum of the generators of the specified fermionic simulation gates.

openfermion.circuits.sum_of_interaction_operator_gate_generators(
    n_modes: int, gates: Dict[Tuple[int, ...], Union[float, cirq.Gate]]
) -> 'openfermion.InteractionOperator'

The gates are specified as a dictionary whose items are (indices, gate), where

* indices is a tuple of ints specifying the modes on which the gate
  acts;
* gate is one of type
  - float, which is interpreted as a constant, regardless of the
    indices,
  - cirq.ZPowGate, which is interpreted as a "linear" fermionic
    simulation gate,
  - openfermion.InteractionOperatorFermionicGate.
