properties of Pauli matrices are used (we do not use the Matrix class).

class Pauli(Symbol):

"""
|
||
|
The class representing algebraic properties of Pauli matrices.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Explanation
|
||
|
===========
|
||
|
|
||
|
The symbol used to display the Pauli matrices can be changed with an
|
||
|
optional parameter ``label="sigma"``. Pauli matrices with different
|
||
|
``label`` attributes cannot multiply together.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If the left multiplication of symbol or number with Pauli matrix is needed,
|
||
|
please use parentheses to separate Pauli and symbolic multiplication
|
||
|
(for example: 2*I*(Pauli(3)*Pauli(2))).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Another variant is to use evaluate_pauli_product function to evaluate
|
||
|
the product of Pauli matrices and other symbols (with commutative
|
||
|
multiply rules).
