Hamiltonian and Lindblad classes for Aer OpenPulse simulator

[chriseclectic]

Abstract

Add Python classes and functions for building a system Hamiltonian and Lindblad dissipators for the upcoming OpenPulse simulator backend for Qiskit Aer.

Description

An OpenPulse simulator backend will soon be added to Qiskit Aer (PR 263). Currently the interface for this simulator uses the OpenPulse backend specification JSON for constructing a Hamiltonian.

This project would be to:

• Write Python classes for building a system Hamiltonian for pulse simulation
• Write Python classes for building a system Lindblad dissipator for noisy pulse simulation
• Write converter that can serialize/deserialize these objects to and from the open pulse specification json.
• Add helper functions for constructing these Hamiltonian objects for IBMQ backends from backend properties.
