qiskit.quantum_info.PauliList.matrix_iter

PauliList.matrix_iter(sparse=False)

Return a matrix representation iterator.

This is a lazy iterator that converts each row into the Pauli matrix representation only as it is used. To convert the entire table to matrices use the to_matrix() method.

Parameters

sparse (bool) – optionally return sparse CSR matrices if True, otherwise return Numpy array matrices (Default: False)

Returns

matrix iterator object for the PauliList.

Return type

MatrixIterator
