Base Gaussian State dm doesn't preserve locality dimensions #726

Open aplund opened 1 year ago

aplund commented 1 year ago

Before posting a bug report

Expected behavior

BaseGaussianState.dm() doesn't preserve locality dimensions. The Fock basis backend and Gaussian backend should give the same results.

Actual behavior

state.dm() gives gives only 2 dimensional matricies. The Fock basis state gives a multi-index object depending on the number of modes.

Reproduces how often

Always
