check_commutativity(op_1, op_2, anti=False)

Check the (anti-)commutativity between two operators.

Parameters

• op_1 (WeightedPauliOperator) – operator
• op_2 (WeightedPauliOperator) – operator
• anti (bool) – if True, check anti-commutativity, otherwise check commutativity.

Returns

whether or not two operators are commuted or anti-commuted.

Return type

bool
