qml.pauli.diagonalize_pauli_word

diagonalize_pauli_word(pauli_word)

Transforms the Pauli word to diagonal form in the computational basis.

Parameters

pauli_word (Operator) – the Pauli word to diagonalize in computational basis

Returns

the Pauli word diagonalized in the computational basis

Return type

Operator

Raises

TypeError – if the input is not a Pauli word, i.e., a Pauli operator, Identity, or Tensor instances thereof

Example

>>> diagonalize_pauli_word(qml.X('a') @ qml.Y('b') @ qml.Z('c'))
Z('a') @ Z('b') @ Z('c')
