Enable returning individual samples #36

Closed LaurinFischer closed 3 weeks ago

LaurinFischer commented 3 weeks ago

This PR implements functionality to optionally return the POVM measurements as individual samples rather than counts dictionaries, see #33.

Essentially, the abstract method _counter of POVMImplementation is replaced by a new method _povm_outcomes that returns a list of samples instead of a counts dictionary. Similarly, the get_counts_from_raw method is renamed to get_povm_outcomes_from_raw and has a boolean flag that determines whether to return samples or counts.

A small note on this has been added to the getting_started.ipynb tutorial.

And to fix the failing CI, you can run tox -e style from the root of your local clone to try and fix this automatically. tox -e lint will tell you if it got everything.
