state

Initial state.

TYPE: Tensor DEFAULT: None

backend

Name of the backend to run on.

run(x, *args, values=None, state=None, backend=BackendName.PYQTORCH, endianness=Endianness.BIG, configuration=None)

Convenience wrapper for the QuantumModel.run method.

This is a functools.singledispatched function so it can be called with a number of different arguments. See the examples of the expectation function. This function works exactly the same.

endianness

The target device endianness.

TYPE: Endianness DEFAULT: BIG

configuration
