Description
Given a tensor of PauliSums, one may want to repeatedly measure these operators. This would be a generalization of the Sample layer, which is implicitly performing this calculation for a tensor of single qubit Z pauli sums. Currently, only the Expectation layer ingests operators.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by reading the existing Sample and Expectation layers and how they handle operator tensors; done means a layer can repeatedly measure a tensor of PauliSums rather than only the single-qubit-Z case.
