Acción de una cadena de Pauli sobre un estado de la base computacional

La acción de una cadena de Pauli sobre un estado de la base computacional es bastante trivial y da como resultado un único estado de la base computacional. Esto es consecuencia directa de la estructura de las matrices de Pauli, que solo tienen un elemento distinto de cero en cada una de sus filas. En consecuencia, su acción sobre un qubit es:

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

Cada bit de la cadena de bits que etiqueta la base computacional se denotará por $x \in \{0, 1 \}$. Para mantener la implementación lo más ligera posible, representaremos las cadenas de bits con variables bool: $0\rightarrow \textrm{False}$ y $1\rightarrow \textrm{True}$.

Para representar la acción de cada operador de Pauli sobre un estado de la base computacional, le asignaremos tres variables: diag, sign, imag.

• diag indica si el operador es diagonal:

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

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

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

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

• sign identifica si hay un cambio de signo en el elemento de matriz conectado a 0 o 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 si el elemento de matriz tiene una componente compleja:

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

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

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

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

Denotamos un operador de Pauli arbitrario como $\sigma \in \{ I, \sigma_x, \sigma_y \sigma_z\}$. La acción del operador de Pauli sobre un estado de la base computacional puede representarse entonces mediante la operación lógica:

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

Esto se generaliza directamente a un número arbitrario de qubits. Comprobemos que funciona:

Generamos una gran cantidad de cadenas de bits (50 M) para un sistema de 40 qubits:

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))
