class ContinuousTime(QuantumWalk):
r"""
Manage instances of continuous-time quantum walks on graphs.
For further implementation details and theoretical background,
refer to the Notes Section.
Parameters
----------
graph :
Graph on which the quantum walk takes place.
There are two acceptable inputs:
* Simple graph (:class:`hiperwalk.Graph`);
* Weighted graph (:class:`hiperwalk.WeightedGraph`);
**kwargs : optional
Additional arguments to set the Hamiltonian and evolution operator.

Notes
-----
The continuous-time quantum walk model represents quantum particles
evolving on a graph in continuous time, as directed by the Schrödinger
equation. The Hamiltonian is usually chosen as the adjacency matrix
or the Laplacian of the graph. A positive parameter gamma acts
as a weighting factor for the Hamiltonian, adjusting the walk's
spreading rate. When marked vertices are present,
the Hamiltonian is suitably modified.
The computational basis associated with a graph
:math:`G(V, E)` comprising :math:`n` vertices
:math:`v_0, \ldots, v_{n-1}` is spanned by the states
:math:`\ket{i}` for
:math:`0 \leq i < n`, where
:math:`\ket{i}` describes the walker's position
as vertex :math:`v_i`.
The adjacency matrix of :math:`G(V, E)` is the
:math:`n`-dimensional matrix :math:`A` such that
.. math::
A_{i,j} = \begin{cases}
1, \text{ if } v_i \text{ is adjacent to } v_j,\\
0, \text{ otherwise.}
\end{cases}
Similarly, the Laplacian matrix is defined as
.. math::
L_{i,j} = \begin{cases}
\text{degree}(v_i), \text{ if } i=j,\\
-1, \text{ if } i\neq j \text{ and }
v_i \text{ is adjacent to } v_j,\\
0, \text{ otherwise.}
\end{cases}
The Hamiltonian's formulation is detailed in
:meth:`hiperwalk.ContinuousTime.set_hamiltonian`,
depending on the choice between the adjacency
or Laplacian matrix, along with the positioning
of the marked vertices.
The :class:`hiperwalk.ContinuousTime` class enables the simulation of
real Hamiltonians.
A particular Hamiltonian :math:`H`,
can be simulated by creating a :class:`hiperwalk.WeightedGraph`
with adjacency matrix :math:`C` such that :math:`H = -\gamma C`.
Additionally, the Laplacian matrix is computed
as :math:`D - A`, with :math:`D` being
the degree matrix.
See :meth:`hiperwalk.Graph.adjacency_matrix`
and :meth:`hiperwalk.Graph.laplacian_matrix`.
For a comprehensive understanding of continuous-time quantum
walks, consult reference [1]_.
To examine the differences between utilizing
the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian matrix,
refer to reference [2]_.

Set the Hamiltonian.
The Hamiltonian takes the form of ``-gamma*C`` wheres
``C`` is either the adjacency matrix or the Laplacian matrix.
If marked vertices are specified, the Hamiltonian
is modified as described in the Notes section.
Once the Hamiltonian has been established,
the evolution operator is updated accordingly.
Parameters
----------
gamma : float, default=0.1
The value of gamma.
type: {'adjacency', 'laplacian'}
Two types of Hamiltonian are used:
``'A'`` is shorthand for ``'adjacency'`` (default).
``'L'`` is shorthand for ``'laplacian'``.
marked : list of vertices, default=[]
List of vertices to be marked.
If empty list, no vertex is marked.
Raises
------
TypeError
If ``gamma`` is ``None`` or complex.
ValueError
If ``gamma < 0``.

The Hamiltonian is given by [1]_ [2]_
.. math::
H = -\gamma C - \sum_{m \in M} \ket m \bra m,
where :math:`C` is either the adjacency matrix or
the Laplacian matrix.
The set :math:`M` specifies the marked vertices via
the argument ``marked=M``. For instance, ``marked={0}``
specifies that :math:`v_0` is the marked vertex.
The default is :math:`M=\emptyset`.
