Puts a two-body fermion operator in chemist ordering.
openfermion.transforms.chemist_ordered(
fermion_operator
)
The normal ordering convention for chemists is different. Rather than ordering the two-body term as physicists do, as \(a^\dagger a^\dagger a a\) the chemist ordering of the two-body term is \(a^\dagger a a^\dagger a\)
