% Define a spin chain Hamiltonian 
% with Heisenberg interaction
% periodic boundary condition, 8 qubits
% Compute ground state energy.
H_Hp=nnchainp(x,x,8)+nnchainp(y,y,8)+nnchainp(z,z,8);

% Define a similar Hamiltonian, but not with a periodic
% boundary condition
H_H=nnchain(x,x,8)+nnchain(y,y,8)+nnchain(z,z,8);
ground_state_energy=min(real(eig(H_H)))

% Define an operator acting on the 3rd and 4th qubit in a 
% 5-qubit chain
