one_q_clifford_symplectic_group_relations()

Gives the group relationship between the ‘I’, ‘H’, ‘P’ ‘HP’, ‘PH’, and ‘HPH’ up-to-Paulis operators.

The returned dictionary contains keys (A,B) for all A and B in the above list. The value for key (A,B) is C if BA = C x some Pauli operator. E,g, (‘P’,’P’) = ‘I’.

This dictionary is important for Compiling multi-qubit Clifford gates without unnecessary 1-qubit gate over-heads. But note that this dictionary should not be used for compressing circuits containing these gates when the exact action of the circuit is of importance (not only the up-to-Paulis action of the circuit).
