qics.vectorize.eye

qics.vectorize.eye(n, iscomplex=False, compact=(False, True))

Computes the matrix representation of the identity map for vectorized symmetric or Hermitian matrices.

Parameters:

nint

The dimensions of the (n, n) matrix the identity is acting on.

iscomplexbool, optional

Whether the matrix to vectorize is Hermitian (True) or symmetric (False). Default is False.

compacttuple of bool, optional

Whether to use a compact vector representation or not for the input and output matrices, respectively. Default is (False, True).

Returns:

ndarray

The matrix representation of the identity superoperator.
