[docs]def represent(expr, **options):
"""Represent the quantum expression in the given basis.
In quantum mechanics abstract states and operators can be represented in
various basis sets. Under this operation the follow transforms happen:
* Ket -> column vector or function
* Bra -> row vector of function
* Operator -> matrix or differential operator
This function is the top-level interface for this action.
This function walks the sympy expression tree looking for ``QExpr``
instances that have a ``_represent`` method. This method is then called
and the object is replaced by the representation returned by this method.
By default, the ``_represent`` method will dispatch to other methods
that handle the representation logic for a particular basis set. The
naming convention for these methods is the following::
def _represent_FooBasis(self, e, basis, **options)
This function will have the logic for representing instances of its class
in the basis set having a class named ``FooBasis``.
Parameters
==========
expr : Expr
The expression to represent.
basis : Operator, basis set
An object that contains the information about the basis set. If an
operator is used, the basis is assumed to be the orthonormal
eigenvectors of that operator. In general though, the basis argument
can be any object that contains the basis set information.
options : dict
Key/value pairs of options that are passed to the underlying method
that finds the representation. These options can be used to
control how the representation is done. For example, this is where
the size of the basis set would be set.
Returns
=======
e : Expr
The SymPy expression of the represented quantum expression.
Examples
========
Here we subclass ``Operator`` and ``Ket`` to create the z-spin operator
and its spin 1/2 up eigenstate. By definining the ``_represent_SzOp``
method, the ket can be represented in the z-spin basis.
>>> from sympy.physics.quantum import Operator, represent, Ket
>>> from sympy import Matrix
>>> class SzUpKet(Ket):
... def _represent_SzOp(self, basis, **options):
... return Matrix([1,0])
...
>>> class SzOp(Operator):
... pass
...
>>> sz = SzOp('Sz')
>>> up = SzUpKet('up')
>>> represent(up, basis=sz)
Matrix([
[1],
[0]])
Here we see an example of representations in a continuous
basis. We see that the result of representing various combinations
of cartesian position operators and kets give us continuous
expressions involving DiracDelta functions.
>>> from sympy.physics.quantum.cartesian import XOp, XKet, XBra
>>> X = XOp()
>>> x = XKet()
>>> y = XBra('y')
>>> represent(X*x)
x*DiracDelta(x - x_2)
>>> represent(X*x*y)
x*DiracDelta(x - x_3)*DiracDelta(x_1 - y)

"""
Returns a basis state instance corresponding to the basis specified in
options=s. If no basis is specified, the function tries to form a default
basis state of the given expression.
There are three behaviors:
1. The basis specified in options is already an instance of StateBase. If
this is the case, it is simply returned. If the class is specified but
not an instance, a default instance is returned.
2. The basis specified is an operator or set of operators. If this
is the case, the operator_to_state mapping method is used.
3. No basis is specified. If expr is a state, then a default instance of
its class is returned. If expr is an operator, then it is mapped to the
corresponding state. If it is neither, then we cannot obtain the basis
state.
If the basis cannot be mapped, then it is not changed.
This will be called from within represent, and represent will
only pass QExpr's.
