toqito.matrices.gen_pauli_z

Produces a generalized Pauli-Z operator matrix.

Module Contents

toqito.matrices.gen_pauli_z.gen_pauli_z(dim)[source]

Produce gen_pauli_z matrix [@WikiClock].

Returns the gen_pauli_z matrix of dimension dim described in [@WikiClock]. The gen_pauli_z matrix generates the following dim-by-dim matrix

[
Sigma_{1, d} = begin{pmatrix}

1 & 0 & 0 & ldots & 0 \ 0 & omega & 0 & ldots & 0 \ 0 & 0 & omega^2 & ldots & 0 \ vdots & vdots & vdots & ddots & vdots \ 0 & 0 & 0 & ldots & omega^{d-1}

end{pmatrix}

]

where (omega) is the n-th primitive root of unity.

The gen_pauli_z matrix is primarily used in the construction of the generalized Pauli operators.

Examples

The gen_pauli_z matrix generated from (d = 3) yields the following matrix:

[
Sigma_{1, 3} = begin{pmatrix}

1 & 0 & 0 \ 0 & omega & 0 \ 0 & 0 & omega^2

end{pmatrix}

]

```python exec=”1” source=”above” from toqito.matrices import gen_pauli_z

print(gen_pauli_z(3)) ```

Parameters:

dim (int) – Dimension of the matrix.

Returns:

dim-by-dim gen_pauli_z matrix.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray
