CliffordUtils.pauli_gates

CliffordUtils.pauli_gates(gatelist, q, pauli)

Append a pauli gate on qubit q to a given list of gates.

Parameters

• gatelist (list) – a list of gates.

• q (int) – an index of the qubit.

• pauli (int) –

  an integer indicating the pauli gate:

  • 1 - for pauli-Z gate.

  • 2 - for pauli-X gate.

  • 3 - for pauli-Y gate.

Returns

A list of gates, after appending a given pauli gate on qubit q.

Return type
