WaveFunction

class scqubits.core.storage.WaveFunction(basis_labels, amplitudes, energy=None)

Container for wave function amplitudes defined for a specific basis. Optionally, a corresponding energy is saved as well.

Parameters:

• basis_labels (ndarray) – labels of basis states; for example, in position basis: values of position variable

• amplitudes (ndarray) – wave function amplitudes for each basis label value

• energy (float) – energy of the wave function

Methods

WaveFunction.__init__(basis_labels, amplitudes)
WaveFunction.amplitude_scale_factor(...)	Returnn scale factor that converts the dimensionless amplitude to a (pseudo-)energy that allows us to plot wavefunctions and potential energies in the same plot.
WaveFunction.rescale(scale_factor)	Rescale the wavefunction amplitudes by a given factor.
WaveFunction.rescale_to_potential(potential_vals)	Rescale the dimensionless amplitude to a (pseudo-)energy that allows us to plot wavefunctions and potential energies in the same plot.

amplitude_scale_factor(potential_vals)
