MissingCoefficientFunctionException

Bases: Exception

Raised when an operator has a non-zero coefficient prefactor but no coefficient function.

ExtraCoefficientFunctionWarning

Bases: Warning

Warning that an operator has a coefficient function but no non-zero coefficient prefactor, so the operator will be ignored.

UnsupportedOperatorException

Bases: Exception

Raised when an operator is not supported.
