dq.coherent_dm 

coherent_dm(dim: int | tuple[int, ...], alpha: ArrayLike) -> Array

Returns the density matrix of a coherent state, or the density matrix of a tensor product of coherent states.

Parameters

  • dim (int or tuple of ints) –

    Dimension of the Hilbert space of each mode.

  • alpha (array_like) –

    Coherent state amplitude of each mode.

Returns

(array of shape (n, n)) Density matrix of the coherent state.
