openfermion.linalg.get_gap

Compute gap between lowest eigenvalue and first excited state.

Main aliases

openfermion.linalg.get_gap(
    sparse_operator, initial_guess=None
)

Args
`sparse_operator`	`LinearOperator` Operator to find the ground state of.
`initial_guess`	`ndarray` Initial guess for eigenspace. A good guess dramatically reduces the cost required to converge.
