toqito.states.trine¶

Trine states are states of linear polarization separated by 60°.

Module Contents¶

toqito.states.trine.trine()[source]¶

Produce the set of trine states (Slide 6 of [@Yard_2017_Lecture11]).

The trine states are formally defined as:

[: u_1 = |0rangle, quad u_1 = -frac{1}{2}left(|0rangle + sqrt{3}|1rangleright), quad text{and} quad u_2 = -frac{1}{2}left(|0rangle - sqrt{3}|1rangleright).

]

Examples

Generating the trine states can be done by simply invoking the function:

`python exec="1" source="above" from toqito.states import trine print(trine()) `
