random_clifford(num_qubits, seed=None)[Quellcode]¶ Return a random Clifford operator.
The Clifford is sampled using the method of Reference [1].
- Parameter
num_qubits (int) – the number of qubits for the Clifford
seed (int or np.random.Generator) – Optional. Set a fixed seed or generator for RNG.
- Rückgabe
