cirq.so4_to_magic_su2s

cirq.so4_to_magic_su2s(mat: numpy.ndarray, tolerance: cirq.linalg.tolerance.Tolerance = Tolerance(rtol=1e-05, atol=1e-08, equal_nan=False)) → Tuple[numpy.ndarray, numpy.ndarray][source]

Finds 2x2 special-unitaries A, B where mat = Mag.H @ kron(A, B) @ Mag.

Mag is the magic basis matrix:

1  0  0  i
0  i  1  0
0  i -1  0     (times sqrt(0.5) to normalize)
1  0  0 -i
Parameters:
  • mat – A real 4x4 orthogonal matrix.
  • tolerance – Per-matrix-entry tolerance on equality.
Returns:

A pair (A, B) of matrices in SU(2) such that Mag.H @ kron(A, B) @ Mag is approximately equal to the given matrix.
Raises:
  • ValueError – Bad matrix.
  • ArithmeticError – Failed to perform the decomposition to desired tolerance.
