# QDrift
|

<Class id="qiskit.opflow.evolutions.QDrift" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.18/qiskit/opflow/evolutions/trotterizations/qdrift.py" signature="QDrift(reps=1)" modifiers="class">

Bases: `qiskit.opflow.evolutions.trotterizations.trotterization_base.TrotterizationBase`
|
||
|
||
The QDrift Trotterization method, which selects each each term in the Trotterization randomly, with a probability proportional to its weight. Based on the work of Earl Campbell in [https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.08017](https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.08017).
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
**reps** (`int`) – The number of times to repeat the Trotterization circuit.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### convert
|
||
|
||
<Function id="qiskit.opflow.evolutions.QDrift.convert" signature="QDrift.convert(operator)">
|
||
Convert a `SummedOp` into a `ComposedOp` or `CircuitOp` representing an approximation of e^-i\*\`\`op\_sum\`\`.
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
**operator** (`OperatorBase`) – The `SummedOp` to evolve.
|
||
|
||
**Return type**
|
||
|
||
`OperatorBase`
|
||
|
||
**Returns**
|
||
|
||
The Operator approximating op\_sum’s evolution.
|
||
|
||
**Raises**
|
||
|
||
**TypeError** – A non-SummedOps Operator is passed into `convert`.
|
||
</Function>
