qiskit.quantum_info.SparsePauliOp.to_list

SparsePauliOp.to_list(array=False)

Convert to a list Pauli string labels and coefficients.

For operators with a lot of terms converting using the array=True kwarg will be more efficient since it allocates memory for the full Numpy array of labels in advance.

Parameters

array (bool) – return a Numpy array if True, otherwise return a list (Default: False).

Returns

List of pairs (label, coeff) for rows of the PauliTable.

Return type

list or array
