The Pauli Expansion circuit.

The Pauli Expansion circuit is a data encoding circuit that transforms input data $\vec{x} \in \mathbb{R}^n$ as

U_{\Phi(\vec{x})}=\exp\left(i\sum_{S\subseteq [n]} \phi_S(\vec{x})\prod_{i\in S} P_i\right)

The circuit contains reps repetitions of this transformation. The variable $P_i \in \{ I, X, Y, Z \}$ denotes the Pauli matrices. The index $S$ describes connectivities between different qubits or datapoints: $S \in \{\binom{n}{k}\ combinations,\ k = 1,... n \}$ . Per default the data-mapping $\phi_S$ is

\begin{split}\phi_S(\vec{x}) = \begin{cases} x_0 \text{ if } k = 1 \\ \prod_{j \in S} (\pi - x_j) \text{ otherwise } \end{cases}\end{split}

For example, if the Pauli strings are chosen to be $P_0 = Z$ and $P_{0,1} = YY$ on 2 qubits and with 1 repetition using the default data-mapping, the Pauli evolution feature map is represented by:

┌───┐┌──────────────┐┌──────────┐                                             ┌───────────┐

Please refer to ZFeatureMap for the case $k = 1$ , $P_0 = Z$ and to ZZFeatureMap for the case $k = 2$ , $P_0 = Z$ and $P_{0,1} = ZZ$ .
