qiskit.quantum_info.PauliList.evolve¶
-
PauliList.evolve(other, qargs=None)[source]¶ Evolve the Pauli by a Clifford.
This returns the Pauli \(P^\prime = C.P.C^\dagger\).
- Parameters
other (Pauli or Clifford or QuantumCircuit) – The Clifford operator to evolve by.
qargs (list) – a list of qubits to apply the Clifford to.
- Returns
the Pauli \(C.P.C^\dagger\).
- Return type
- Raises
QiskitError – if the Clifford number of qubits and qargs don’t match.
