[docs]def expect(oper, state):
'''Calculates the expectation value for operator(s) and state(s).
Parameters
----------
oper : qobj/array-like
A single or a `list` or operators for expectation value.
state : qobj/array-like
A single or a `list` of quantum states or density matrices.
Returns
-------
expt : float/complex/array-like
Expectation value. ``real`` if `oper` is Hermitian, ``complex``
otherwise. A (nested) array of expectaction values of state or operator
are arrays.
Examples
--------
>>> expect(num(4), basis(4, 3)) == 3 # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
True
