cirq.sim.CliffordTableau(
    num_qubits,
    initial_state: int = 0
)

(based on Aaronson and Gottesman 2006).

The tableau stores the stabilizer generators of the state using three binary arrays: xs, zs, and rs.

Each row of the arrays represents a Pauli string, P, that is an eigenoperator of the state vector with eigenvalue one: P|psi> = |psi>.

Args
num_qubits	The number of qubits in the system.
initial_state	The computational basis representation of the state as a big endian int.

Methods

copy() -> "CliffordTableau"

destabilizers

View source

destabilizers() -> List[cirq.ops.DensePauliString]

Returns the destabilizer generators of the state. These are n operators {S_1,S_2,...,S_n} such that along with the stabilizer generators above generate the full Pauli group on n qubits.
