UnitaryMatrix.get_distance_from
- UnitaryMatrix.get_distance_from(other, degree=2)[source]
Return the distance between self and other.
The distance is given as:
where D is the degree, by default is 2.
- Parameters:
other (
UnitaryLike
) – The unitary to measure distance from.degree (
int
) – The degree of the distance metric.
- Returns:
A value between 1 and 0, where 0 means the two unitaries are equal up to global phase and 1 means the two unitaries are very unsimilar or far apart.
- Return type:
float
