<Function id="qiskit.quantum_info.pauli_basis" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/tree/main/qiskit/quantum_info/operators/symplectic/pauli_utils.py#L21-L40" signature="qiskit.quantum_info.pauli_basis(num_qubits, weight=False)">
|
||
Return the ordered PauliList for the n-qubit Pauli basis.
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
* **num\_qubits** ([*int*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "(in Python v3.13)")) – number of qubits
|
||
* **weight** ([*bool*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.13)")) – if True optionally return the basis sorted by Pauli weight rather than lexicographic order (Default: False)
|
||
|
||
**Returns**
|
||
|
||
the Paulis for the basis
|
||
|
||
**Return type**
