all_traceless_pauli_choice_terms

forest.benchmarking.utils.all_traceless_pauli_choice_terms(qubits: Sequence[int], pauli_choice: str)

Generate list of all Pauli terms (with weight > 0) on N qubits with choice pauli.

If pauli_choice is ‘Z’ then this is identical to all_traceless_pauli_z_terms

Parameters:

• qubits – The integer labels for the qubits
• pauli_choice – choice of which pauli to form combinations.

Returns:

list of PauliTerm made from combinations of I and the given choice pauli
