qrisp.operators.qubit.QubitOperator.commutator

QubitOperator.commutator(other)

Computes the commutator.

\[[A,B] = AB - BA\]

Parameters:

otherQubitOperator

The second argument of the commutator.

Returns:

commutatorQubitOperator

The commutator operator.

Examples

We compute the commutator of a ladder operator with a Pauli string.

>>> from qrisp.operators import A,C,X,Z
>>> O_0 = A(0)*C(1)*A(2)
>>> O_1 = Z(0)*X(1)*X(1)
>>> print(O_0.commutator(O_1))
2*A_0*C_1*A_2
