qiskit.quantum_info.StabilizerState.evolve

StabilizerState.evolve(other, qargs=None)

Evolve a stabilizer state by a Clifford operator.

Parameters

• other (Clifford or QuantumCircuit or qiskit.circuit.Instruction) – The Clifford operator to evolve by.

• qargs (list) – a list of stabilizer subsystem positions to apply the operator on.

Returns

the output stabilizer state.

Return type

StabilizerState

Raises

• QiskitError – if other is not a StabilizerState.

• QiskitError – if the operator dimension does not match the specified StabilizerState subsystem dimensions.
