class spheres.visualization.majorana_sphere.SphericalWavefunction(spin, pos=<0, 0, 0>, radius=1, wavefunction_type='coherent', wavefunction_samples=15)[source]¶

Bases: object

Container for a 3D representation of a spin coherent wavefunction.

__init__(spin, pos=<0, 0, 0>, radius=1, wavefunction_type='coherent', wavefunction_samples=15)[source]¶

Parameters

spin (qt.Qobj) – Spin-j state.
pos (vp.vector) – Position.
radius (float) – Radius.
wavefunction_type (str) – “coherent” or “majorana”. The former evaluates the amplitude on a spin coherent state at sample points on the sphere. The latter evaluates the normalized Majorana function. The two should be antipodal to each other.
wavefunction_samples (int) – Number of sample points.

Methods
