Wrong Expectation value when implementing a VQE for the Heisenberg Hamiltonian

I tried to implement an extended Heisenberg-Hamiltonian as an extra exercise further than my homework. My Hamiltonian is the following: $H = \sum_{NN} \sigma_x\sigma_x + \sigma_z\sigma_z$ I try to ...

How to calculate an Expected Value of some operator acting on qubits?

I'm trying to implement the Variational Quantum Eigensolver in Qiskit. Suppose, I have an operator $A = \sigma_1^z\sigma_2^z$ acting on some two-qubit state $|\psi\rangle$. After a measurement I get ...
