Detailed Description

Useful pre-defined (constant) objects for use in quantum info.

The ConstStates namespace contains pre-defined states and operators that are frequently used in quantum information processing. These include:

• the identity and zero matrices in all dimensions [Identity(d), Zero(d)],
• the Hadamard (Fourier transform) operator for qubits [Hadamard()],
• the phase gate (square root of SigmaZ) operator for qubits [HalfPhase()],
• the qubit Pauli operators [Sigma{X,Y,Z,I}(), Sigma(i)],
• all the Pauli operators' eigenstates [{X,Y,Z}{Plus,Minus}(), QubitMUBState(i)],
• the J=1/2 spin-along-an-arbitrary-vector operator [QubitSpinOperator(x,y,z)],
• the J=1/2 spin-along-an-arbitrary-unit-vector state [QubitSpinState(x,y,z)],
• the four states making up a canonical symmetric informationally complete POVM for qubits [QubitSICPState(i)]
• the J=(d-1)/2 angular momentum operators [J{x,y,z}(d)]
• the J=(d-1)/2 angular-momentum-along-an-arbitrary-vector operator [Jn(d,x,y,z)]
