apply
(nn_state, samples)[source]¶ Computes the value of the observable, row-wise, on a batch of samples.
If we think of the samples given as a set of projective measurements in a given computational basis, this method must return the expectation of the operator with respect to each basis state in samples. It must not perform any averaging for statistical purposes, as the proper analysis is delegated to the specialized statistics and statistics_from_samples methods.
Must be implemented by any subclasses.

nn_state (qucumber.nn_states.WaveFunctionBase) – The WaveFunction that drew the samples.
samples (torch.Tensor) – A batch of sample states to calculate the observable on.
