openfermion.linalg.jw_sz_restrict_operator

Restrict a Jordan-Wigner encoded operator to a given Sz value

openfermion.linalg.jw_sz_restrict_operator(
    operator,
    sz_value,
    n_electrons=None,
    n_qubits=None,
    up_index=openfermion.utils.up_index,
    down_index=openfermion.utils.down_index
)

operator ndarray or sparse

Numpy operator acting on the space of n_qubits.

sz_value float

Desired Sz value. Should be an integer or half-integer.

n_electrons int, optional

Number of particles to restrict the operator to, if such a restriction is desired.

n_qubits int, optional

Number of qubits defining the total state

up_index Callable, optional

Function that maps a spatial index to the index of the corresponding up site

down_index Callable, optional

Function that maps a spatial index to the index of the corresponding down site

new_operator ndarray or sparse

Numpy operator restricted to acting on states with the desired Sz value.
