mrmustard.physics.gaussian.physical_partial_transpose(cov, modes)[source]

Returns the covariance matrix that corresponds to applying the partial transposition on the density matrix of a given set of modes.

Reference: https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9909044, Equation 1, 5.

Parameters:
  • cov (Matrix) – the covariance matrix

  • modes (Sequence[int]) – the modes of system on which transposition is applied

Returns:

the covariance matrix corresponding to the partially transposed state

Return type:

Matrix
