qiskit.opflow.primitive_ops.PauliOp.permute¶
- PauliOp.permute(permutation)[source]¶
Permutes the sequence of Pauli matrices.
- Parameters
permutation (List[int]) -- A list defining where each Pauli should be permuted. The Pauli at index j of the primitive should be permuted to position permutation[j].
- Returns
A new PauliOp representing the permuted operator. For operator (X ^ Y ^ Z) and indices=[1,2,4], it returns (X ^ I ^ Y ^ Z ^ I).
- Raises
OpflowError -- if indices do not define a new index for each qubit.
- Return type
