This fixes a bug in the decomposition for
Exp
that would cause a runtime failure if an array of more than two qubits was used and a singlePauliI
was passed in the Pauli array. The decomposition ignoresPauliI
by calling theRemovePauliI
helper function, but then incorrectly uses the original arrays when rather than the filtered arrays in the rest of the operation. This adds a test to confirm the fix (without the fix the test triggers a runtime failure inMapPauli
).
