pygsti.hamiltonian_to_lindbladian(hamiltonian)

Construct the Lindbladian corresponding to a given Hamiltonian.

Mathematically, for a d-dimensional Hamiltonian matrix H, this routine constructs the d^2-dimension Lindbladian matrix L whose action is given by L(rho) = -1j*[ H, rho ], where square brackets denote the commutator and rho is a density matrix. L is returned as a superoperator matrix that acts on a vectorized density matrices.

Parameters:hamiltonian (ndarray) – The hamiltonian matrix used to construct the Lindbladian.
Returns:
Return type:ndarray
