Implement arithmetic on SparseObservable
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The simple arithmetic operators of addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division and tensor product are in line with other
`quantum_info` objects, including coercion from other objects (though
better behaved on failed coercions, in many cases).

Where appopriate, in-place operations will re-use the existing
allocations.  The tensor product cannot really be done in place, so it
doesn't define a special `__rxor__` operator, but it inherits the
standard Python behaviour of this being derived from `__xor__`.

There are further mathematical operations to add around composition and
evolution, and to apply a `TranspileLayout` to the observable.  All of
these, in the `quantum_info` style either directly deal with a layout,
or take a `qargs` argument that is effectively a sublayout for the
right-hand side of the operation.  These will be added in a follow-up.
