<Function id="qiskit.quantum_info.random_pauli" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.18/qiskit/quantum_info/operators/symplectic/random.py" signature="random_pauli(num_qubits, group_phase=False, seed=None)">
|
||
Return a random Pauli.
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
* **num\_qubits** (*int*) – the number of qubits.
|
||
* **group\_phase** (*bool*) – Optional. If True generate random phase. Otherwise the phase will be set so that the Pauli coefficient is +1 (default: False).
|
||
* **seed** (*int or np.random.Generator*) – Optional. Set a fixed seed or generator for RNG.
|
||
|
||
**Returns**
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
**Return type**
