SparsePauliOp.simplify()
has an implicit threshold for truncating small coefficients, the truncation of these coefficients is not tracked by OBP's error budgeting, so these parameters need to be exposed to users as they introduce un-accounted for sources of error.The solution implemented here is to add the absolute and relative tolerance values
atol
,rtol
, to theOperatorBudget
data structure. These values are then passed along toSparsePauliOp.simplify
when it gets called.
