Density matrix equivalent of qml.QubitStateVector for a mixed state simulation
See original GitHub issueFeature details
For a mixed state simulation, I want to start from a given density matrix, but there is no such operation.
Implementation
A mixed state equivalent to the QubitStateVector class will be required, also _apply_operation for mixed state simulators should be modified.
How important would you say this feature is?
3: Very important! Blocking work.

Hi @shukob, if the issue is with partial transposition you can do partial transpose with a combination of reshape and transpose. Please let me know if this helps or if I’m understanding the question wrong.
Thank you @shukob!
