qiskit.providers.aer.noise.pauli_error

pauli_error(noise_ops, standard_gates=None)

Return a mixed Pauli quantum error channel.

The input should be a list of pairs (P[j], p[j]), where P[j] is a Pauli object or string label, and p[j] is a probability. All probabilities must sum to 1 for the input ops to be valid.

Parameters

• noise_ops (list[pair[Pauli, double]]) – Pauli error terms.
• standard_gates (bool) – DEPRECATED, if True return the operators as standard qobj Pauli gate instructions. If false return as unitary matrix qobj instructions. (Default: None)

Returns

The quantum error object.

Return type

QuantumError

Raises

NoiseError – If depolarizing probability is less than 0 or greater than 1.
