suzuki_expansion_slice_pauli_list

suzuki_expansion_slice_pauli_list(pauli_list, lam_coef, expansion_order)

Compute the list of pauli terms for a single slice of the suzuki expansion following the paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0508139.pdf.

Parameters

• pauli_list (list[list[complex, Pauli]]) – The slice’s weighted Pauli list for the suzuki expansion
• lam_coef (float) – The parameter lambda as defined in said paper, adjusted for the evolution time and the number of time slices
• expansion_order (int) – The order for suzuki expansion

Returns

slice pauli list

Return type

list
