hiperwalk.ContinuousTime.set_time

ContinuousTime.set_time(time=1)

Set a time instant.

Defines a time t and calculates the evolution operator U(t) at the specified time (see Notes).

Parameters:

timefloat, default=1

Raises:

ValueError

If time < 0.

Notes

The evolution operator is given by

\[U(t) = \text{e}^{-\text{i}tH},\]

where \(H\) is the Hamiltonian, and \(t\) is the time.
