scqubits.core.operators.a_plus_adag_sparse(dimension, prefactor=None)[source]¶

Operator matrix for prefactor(\(a+a^\dagger\)) of size dimension x dimension in sparse matrix representation.

Parameters:

dimension (int) – matrix size
prefactor (Optional[Union`[:py:class:`float, complex]]) – prefactor multiplying the number operator matrix (if not given, this defaults to 1)

Return type:

csc_matrix

Returns:

prefactor * (\(a+a^\dagger\)) as sparse operator matrix, size dimension x dimension
