Azione di una stringa di Pauli su uno stato della base computazionale

L'azione di una stringa di Pauli su uno stato della base computazionale è piuttosto banale ed è essa stessa un singolo stato della base computazionale. Ciò è una conseguenza diretta della struttura delle matrici di Pauli, che hanno un solo elemento non nullo su ciascuna riga. Di conseguenza, la loro azione su un qubit è:

---

$$\sigma_x |0 \rangle = |1 \rangle$$ $$\sigma_x |1 \rangle = |0 \rangle$$

---

$$\sigma_y |0 \rangle = i|1 \rangle$$ $$\sigma_y |1 \rangle = -i|0 \rangle$$

---

$$\sigma_z |0 \rangle = |0 \rangle$$ $$\sigma_z |1 \rangle = -|1 \rangle$$

---

$$I |0 \rangle = |0 \rangle$$ $$I |1 \rangle = |1 \rangle$$

---

Ogni bit della bitstring che etichetta la base computazionale sarà indicato con $x \in \{0, 1 \}$. Per mantenere l'implementazione il più leggera possibile, rappresenteremo le bitstring con variabili bool: $0\rightarrow \textrm{False}$ e $1\rightarrow \textrm{True}$.

Per rappresentare l'azione di ciascun operatore di Pauli su uno stato della base computazionale, glie assegneremo tre variabili: diag, sign, imag.

• diag indica se l'operatore è diagonale:

  • $\textrm{diag}(I) = \textrm{True}$

  • $\textrm{diag}(\sigma_x) = \textrm{False}$

  • $\textrm{diag}(\sigma_y) = \textrm{False}$

  • $\textrm{diag}(\sigma_z) = \textrm{True}$

• sign identifica se c'è un cambio di segno nell'elemento di matrice collegato a 0 oppure a 1:

  • $\textrm{sign}(I) = \textrm{False}$

  • $\textrm{sign}(\sigma_x) = \textrm{False}$

  • $\textrm{sign}(\sigma_y) = \textrm{True}$

  • $\textrm{sign}(\sigma_z) = \textrm{True}$

• imag identifica se l'elemento di matrice ha una componente complessa:

  • $\textrm{imag}(I) = \textrm{False}$

  • $\textrm{imag}(\sigma_x) = \textrm{False}$

  • $\textrm{imag}(\sigma_y) = \textrm{True}$

  • $\textrm{imag}(\sigma_z) = \textrm{False}$

Indichiamo un operatore di Pauli arbitrario con $\sigma \in \{ I, \sigma_x, \sigma_y \sigma_z\}$. L'azione dell'operatore di Pauli su uno stato della base computazionale può quindi essere rappresentata dall'operazione logica:

$$\sigma |x \rangle = |x == \textrm{diag}(\sigma) \rangle (-1)^{x\textrm{ and sign}(\sigma)} (i)^{\textrm{imag}(\sigma)}.$$

Lo stesso si generalizza direttamente a un numero arbitrario di qubit. Verifichiamo che funzioni:

Generiamo un gran numero di bitstring (50 M) per un sistema a 40 qubit:

import numpy as np
from qiskit_addon_sqd.qubit import sort_and_remove_duplicates

rand_seed = 22
np.random.seed(rand_seed)

# Generate some random bitstrings for testing

def random_bitstrings(n_samples, n_qubits):
    return (
        np.round(np.random.rand(n_samples, n_qubits))
        .astype("int")
        .astype("bool")
    )

n_qubits = 40
bts_matrix = random_bitstrings(50_000_000, n_qubits)

# We need to sort the bitstrings and only keep the unique ones
# NOTE: It is essential for the projection code to have the bitstrings sorted!
bts_matrix = sort_and_remove_duplicates(bts_matrix).astype("bool")

# Final subspace dimension after getting rid of duplicated bitstrings
d = bts_matrix.shape[0]

print("Total number of unique bitstrings: " + str(d))

Total number of unique bitstrings: 49998839
