qiskit.quantum_info.pauli_basis(num_qubits, weight=False)

Return the ordered PauliList for the n-qubit Pauli basis.

Parameters

• num_qubits (int (opens in a new tab)) – number of qubits
• weight (bool (opens in a new tab)) – if True optionally return the basis sorted by Pauli weight rather than lexicographic order (Default: False)

Returns

the Paulis for the basis

Return type

PauliList
