str_to_pauli_term
(pauli_str: str, qubit_labels=None)¶ Convert a string into a
PauliTerm
.>>> str_to_pauli_term('XY', [])
Parameters: - pauli_str (str) – The input string, made of of ‘I’, ‘X’, ‘Y’ or ‘Z’
- qubit_labels – The integer labels for the qubits in the string If None, default to the range of the length of pauli_str.
Returns: the corresponding PauliTerm
Return type: pyquil.paulis.PauliTerm
