openfermion.measurements.partition_iterator

Generator for a list of k-partitions of N qubits such that all sets of k qubits are perfectly split in at least one partition, following ArXiv:1908.05628

openfermion.measurements.partition_iterator(
    qubit_list, partition_size, num_iterations=None
)

qubit_list list

list of qubits to be partitioned

partition_size int

the number of sets in the partition.

num_iterations int or None

the number of iterations in the outer iterator. If None, set to ceil(log2(len(qubit_list)))

partition iterator of tuples of lists

the required partitioning
