This function implements PEC by:
1. Sampling different implementable circuits from the quasi-probability
representation of the input circuit;
2. Evaluating the noisy expectation values associated to the sampled
circuits (through the "executor" function provided by the user);
3. Estimating the ideal expectation value from a suitable linear
combination of the noisy ones.
Args:
circuit: The input circuit to execute with error-mitigation.
executor: A function which executes a circuit (sequence of circuits)
and returns an expectation value (sequence of expectation values).
representations: Representations (basis expansions) of each operation
in the input circuit.
precision: The desired estimation precision (assuming the observable
is bounded by 1). The number of samples is deduced according
to the formula (one_norm / precision) ** 2, where 'one_norm'
is related to the negativity of the quasi-probability
representation [Temme2017]_. If 'num_samples' is explicitly set
by the user, 'precision' is ignored and has no effect.
num_samples: The number of noisy circuits to be sampled for PEC.
If not given, this is deduced from the argument 'precision'.
force_run_all: If True, all sampled circuits are executed regardless of
uniqueness, else a minimal unique set is executed.
random_state: Seed for sampling circuits.
full_output: If False only the average PEC value is returned.
If True a dictionary containing all PEC data is returned too.
Returns:
pec_value: The PEC estimate of the ideal expectation value associated
to the input circuit.
pec_data: A dictionary which contains all the raw data involved in the
PEC process (including the PEC estimation error). The error is
estimated as pec_std / sqrt(num_samples), where 'pec_std' is the
standard deviation of the PEC samples, i.e., the square root of the
mean squared deviation of the sampled values from 'pec_value'.
This is returned only if ``full_output`` is ``True``.
