r"""Pauli Transfer Matrix (PTM) representation of a Quantum Channel.
The PTM representation of an :math:`n`-qubit quantum channel
:math:`\mathcal{E}` is an :math:`n`-qubit :class:`SuperOp` :math:`R`
defined with respect to vectorization in the Pauli basis instead of
column-vectorization. The elements of the PTM :math:`R` are
given by
.. math::
R_{i,j} = \frac{1}{2^n} \mbox{Tr}\left[P_i \mathcal{E}(P_j) \right]
where :math:`[P_0, P_1, ..., P_{4^{n}-1}]` is the :math:`n`-qubit Pauli basis in
lexicographic order.
Evolution of a :class:`~qiskit.quantum_info.DensityMatrix`
:math:`\rho` with respect to the PTM is given by
.. math::
|\mathcal{E}(\rho)\rangle\!\rangle_P = S_P |\rho\rangle\!\rangle_P
where :math:`|A\rangle\!\rangle_P` denotes vectorization in the Pauli basis
:math:`\langle i | A\rangle\!\rangle_P = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2^n}} \mbox{Tr}[P_i A]`.
