Package: Microsoft.Quantum.Type2.Core

Applies the exponential of a multi-qubit Pauli operator.

operation Exp (paulis : Pauli[], theta : Double, qubits : Qubit[]) : Unit is Adj + Ctl

Description

\begin{align} e^{i \theta [P_0 \otimes P_1 \cdots P_{N-1}]}, \end{align} where $P_i$ is the $i$th element of paulis, and where $N = $Length(paulis).

Input

paulis : Pauli[]

Array of single-qubit Pauli values indicating the tensor product factors on each qubit.

theta : Double

Angle about the given multi-qubit Pauli operator by which the target register is to be rotated.

qubits : Qubit[]

Register to apply the given rotation to.

Output : Unit
