qiskit.quantum_info.random_pauli

random_pauli(num_qubits, group_phase=False, seed=None)

Return a random Pauli.

Parameters

• num_qubits (int) – the number of qubits.
• group_phase (bool) – Optional. If True generate random phase. Otherwise the phase will be set so that the Pauli coefficient is +1 (default: False).
• seed (int or np.random.Generator) – Optional. Set a fixed seed or generator for RNG.

Returns

a random Pauli

Return type
