alpha_pauli_numerical(errorgen, tableau, pauli)

First-order error generator sensitivity function for pauli expectations. This implementation calculates this quantity numerically, and as such is primarily intended for used as parting of testing infrastructure.

Parameters:

• errorgen (ElementaryErrorgenLabel) – Error generator label for which to calculate sensitivity.

• tableau (stim.Tableau) – Stim Tableau corresponding to the stabilizer state to calculate the sensitivity for.

• pauli (stim.PauliString) – Pauli to calculate the sensitivity for.
