cirq.optimizers.merge_single_qubit_gates_into_phased_x_z(
    circuit: cirq.circuits.Circuit,
    atol: float = 1e-08
) -> None

Specifically, any run of non-parameterized single-qubit gates will be replaced by an optional PhasedX operation followed by an optional Z operation.

Args
circuit	The circuit to rewrite. This value is mutated in-place.
atol	Absolute tolerance to angle error. Larger values allow more negligible gates to be dropped, smaller values increase accuracy.
