An efficient simulator for Clifford circuits.
Allowed operations include:
- X,Y,Z,H,S,CNOT,CZ
- measurements in the computational basis
The quantum state is specified in two forms:
1. In terms of stabilizer generators. These are a set of n Pauli operators
{S_1,S_2,...,S_n} such that S_i |psi> = |psi>.
This implementation is based on Aaronson and Gottesman,
2004 (arXiv:quant-ph/0406196).
2. In the CH-form defined by Bravyi et al, 2018 (arXiv:1808.00128).
This representation keeps track of overall phase and enables access
to state vector amplitudes.
