In
FockSimulator
, the unitary matrices acting on the density operator were embedded in the Fock space, before directly multiplying with the density matrix. This can be done faster, by avoiding embedding and modifying only the relevant parts of the density matrix, as done inPureFockSimulator
with the state vector instead of the density matrix. This approach has been implemented in this patch.
