RandomQuantum
This Julia package provides functions to sample from various random matrix ensebles associated with quantum information applications.
Here is a table of currently support ensembles:
| Type | Ensemble |
|---|---|
GinibreEnsemble | Ginibre unitarily invariant matrix ensemble |
FubiniStudyPureState | Fubini-Study pure ensemble |
FubiniStudyMixedState | Mixed-state ensemble induced by tracing out elements of Fubini-Study ensenble on a larger space |
HilbertSchmidtMixedState | Mixed-state ensemble given by the "flat" Hilbert-Schmidt |
BuresMixedState | Mixed-state ensemble given by the Bures metric. |
ClosedHaarEnsemble | Circular Unitary Ensemble (CUE), unitaries distributed according to the Haar measure. |
OpenHaarEnsemble | Quantum channel ensemble induced by Haar-distributed unitaries (CUE) on a larger space. |
RandomClosedEvolution | Unitary matrix ensemble obtained by evolving under a Hamiltonian sampled from a Gaussian unitary ensemble |
RandomOpenEvolution | Quantum channel ensemble induced by integrated GUE evolution on a larger space. |
The interface is emulates the interface of Distributions.jl,
although there is a lot missing at the moment.
Installation
Install it with the following command:
julia> Pkg.add("RandomQuantum")
For Julia v1.0 use the master branch:
(v1.0) pkg> add RandomQuantum
