errorgen_pauli_action(errorgen, pauli)

Apply the specified error generator to a given Pauli operator.

Parameters:

• errorgen (LocalStimErrorgenLabel) – A label specifying the error generator which should be applied to the specified Pauli operator.

• pauli (stim.PauliString) – The pauli operator to apply the error generator to

• Returns

• --------

• operator (A tuple whose first value is the (generally complex) weight of the resulting pauli)

• second (and whose)

• itself. (value is the unsigned Pauli operator)

• None. (If the specified error generator annihilates the given pauli then this instead returns)

Return type:

tuple[float, PauliString]
