commuting_sets

pyquil.paulis.commuting_sets(pauli_terms)

Gather the Pauli terms of pauli_terms variable into commuting sets

Uses algorithm defined in (Raeisi, Wiebe, Sanders, arXiv:1108.4318, 2011) to find commuting sets. Except uses commutation check from arXiv:1405.5749v2

Parameters

pauli_terms (PauliSum) – A PauliSum object

Return type

List[List[PauliTerm]]

Returns

List of lists where each list contains a commuting set
