dq.momentum

momentum(dim: int, *, layout: Layout | None = None) -> QArray

Returns the momentum operator \(p = i (a^\dag - a) / 2\).

Parameters

  • dim –

    Dimension of the Hilbert space.

  • layout –

    Matrix layout (dq.dense, dq.dia or None).

Returns

(qarray of shape (dim, dim)) Momentum operator.

Examples

>>> dq.momentum(3)
QArray: shape=(3, 3), dims=(3,), dtype=complex64, layout=dia, ndiags=2
[[  â‹…       0.-0.5j     â‹…      ]
 [0.+0.5j     â‹…       0.-0.707j]
 [  â‹…       0.+0.707j   â‹…      ]]
