scqubits.utils.spectrum_utils.identity_wrap(operator, subsystem, subsys_list, op_in_eigenbasis=False, evecs=None)[source]

Takes the operator belonging to subsystem and “wraps” it in identities. The full Hilbert space is taken to consist of all subsystems given as subsys_list. subsystem must be one element in that list. For each of the other subsystems in the list, an identity operator of the correct dimension is generated and inserted into the appropriate Kronecker product “sandwiching” the operator.

Parameters:

  • operator (Union[str, ndarray, Qobj, Callable]) – operator acting in Hilbert space of subsystem; if str, then this should be an operator name in the subsystem, typically not in eigenbasis

  • subsystem (QuantumSys) – subsystem where diagonal operator is defined

  • subsys_list (List[QuantumSys]) – list of all subsystems relevant to the Hilbert space.

  • op_in_eigenbasis (bool) – whether operator is given in the subsystem eigenbasis; otherwise, operator is assumed to be in the internal QuantumSystem basis.

  • evecs (Optional[ndarray]) – internal QuantumSystem eigenstates, used to convert operator into eigenbasis

Return type:

Qobj

Returns:

operator in the full Hilbert space (as specified by subsystem_list). This operator is expressed in the bare product basis consisting of the energy eigenstates of each subsystem.
