def density_matrix_of(self, qubits: List[ops.Qid] = None) -> np.ndarray:
        r"""Returns the density matrix of the state.

        Calculate the density matrix for the system on the list, qubits.
        Any qubits not in the list that are present in self.state_vector() will
        be traced out. If qubits is None the full density matrix for
        self.state_vector() is returned, given self.state_vector() follows
        standard Kronecker convention of numpy.kron.

        For example:
            self.state_vector() = np.array([1/np.sqrt(2), 1/np.sqrt(2)],
                dtype=np.complex64)

            gives us \rho = \begin{bmatrix}

                            \end{bmatrix}

                to include in the density matrix (i.e.) qubits that WON'T
                be traced out.

        Returns:
            A numpy array representing the density matrix.

        Raises:
            ValueError: if the size of the state represents more than 25 qubits.
            IndexError: if the indices are out of range for the number of qubits
                corresponding to the state.
