AerState::probability and AerState::amplitude calls for a MPS simulator return the wrong ordering for states
Summary
The MPS simulator returned the wrong states amplitudes and probabilities with AerState::probability and AerState::amplitude calls.
Details and comments
The values were correct, but for the wrong states, the reason being the order of qubits.
The fix is by adding a function
reorder_qubits_rev
that provides the correct order of qubits and by modifyingMPS::get_amplitude_vector
to call it instead of the original call toreorder_qubits
