scqubits.core.operators.iadag_minus_ia(dimension, prefactor=None)

Operator matrix for prefactor(\(ia-ia^\dagger\)) of size dimension x dimension as ndarray

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:

ndarray

Returns:

prefactor * (\(ia-ia^\dagger\)) as ndarray, size dimension x dimension
