# Statevector
<Class id="qiskit.quantum_info.Statevector" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.18/qiskit/quantum_info/states/statevector.py" signature="Statevector(data, dims=None)" modifiers="class">
Bases: `qiskit.quantum_info.states.quantum_state.QuantumState`, `qiskit.quantum_info.operators.mixins.tolerances.TolerancesMixin`
Statevector class
Initialize a statevector object.
**Parameters**
* \*\*(****np.array**** or ****list**** or ****Statevector**** or ****Operator**** or \*\***QuantumCircuit or** (*data*) qiskit.circuit.Instruction): Data from which the statevector can be constructed. This can be either a complex vector, another statevector, a ```Operator` with only one column or a ``QuantumCircuit``` or `Instruction`. If the data is a circuit or instruction, the statevector is constructed by assuming that all qubits are initialized to the zero state.
* **dims** (*int or tuple or list*) Optional. The subsystem dimension of the state (See additional information).
**Raises**
**QiskitError** if input data is not valid.
**Additional Information:**
The `dims` kwarg can be None, an integer, or an iterable of integers.
* `Iterable` the subsystem dimensions are the values in the list with the total number of subsystems given by the length of the list.
* `Int` or `None` the length of the input vector specifies the total dimension of the density matrix. If it is a power of two the state will be initialized as an N-qubit state. If it is not a power of two the state will have a single d-dimensional subsystem.

# Probabilities for measuring both qubits
probs = psi.probabilities()
print('probs: {}'.format(probs))
# Probabilities for measuring only qubit-0
probs_qubit_0 = psi.probabilities([0])
print('Qubit-0 probs: {}'.format(probs_qubit_0))

```
```
probs: [0.5 0. 0.5 0. ]

```
We can also permute the order of qubits in the `qargs` list to change the qubit position in the probabilities output
```python
from qiskit.quantum_info import Statevector

If only a some subsystems are reset this function will perform a measurement on those subsystems and evolve the subsystems so that the collapsed post-measurement states are rotated to the 0-state. The RNG seed for this sampling can be set using the [`seed()`](qiskit.quantum_info.Statevector#seed "qiskit.quantum_info.Statevector.seed") method.

**Return type**
dict
**Example**
The ket-form of a 2-qubit statevector $|\psi\rangle = |-\rangle\otimes |0\rangle$
```python
from qiskit.quantum_info import Statevector
psi = Statevector.from_label('-0')
print(psi.to_dict())
```
```
{'00': (0.7071067811865475+0j), '10': (-0.7071067811865475+0j)}
```
For non-qubit subsystems the integer range can go from 0 to 9. For example in a qutrit system
```python
import numpy as np
from qiskit.quantum_info import Statevector
vec = np.zeros(9)
vec[0] = 1 / np.sqrt(2)
vec[-1] = 1 / np.sqrt(2)
psi = Statevector(vec, dims=(3, 3))
print(psi.to_dict())
```
```
{'00': (0.7071067811865475+0j), '22': (0.7071067811865475+0j)}
```
For large subsystem dimensions delimiters are required. The following example is for a 20-dimensional system consisting of a qubit and 10-dimensional qudit.
```python
import numpy as np
from qiskit.quantum_info import Statevector
vec = np.zeros(2 * 10)
vec[0] = 1 / np.sqrt(2)
vec[-1] = 1 / np.sqrt(2)
psi = Statevector(vec, dims=(2, 10))
print(psi.to_dict())
```
