class StimNoiseGate(Operation):
"""
Class for representing Stim errors in Qrisp circuits.
This class is used to wrap Stim instructions into Qrisp Operations. These operations are
effectively identity gates (they have an empty definition) but carry the information about the Stim
noise channel. When converted to Stim circuits, these operations are replaced by the corresponding
Stim instruction.

* - Name
- Description
* - ``DEPOLARIZE1``
- Single qubit depolarizing noise. This channel applies one of the Pauli errors X, Y, Z with probability $p/3$.
* - ``DEPOLARIZE2``
- Two qubit depolarizing noise. This channel applies one of the 15 non-identity two-qubit Pauli errors (IX, IY, ..., ZZ) with probability $p/15$.
* - ``X_ERROR``
- Single qubit Pauli-X error (Bit flip). Applies X with probability $p$.
* - ``Y_ERROR``
- Single qubit Pauli-Y error. Applies Y with probability $p$.
* - ``Z_ERROR``
- Single qubit Pauli-Z error (Phase flip). Applies Z with probability $p$.
* - ``PAULI_CHANNEL_1``
- Custom single qubit Pauli channel. Takes 3 arguments (px, py, pz) specifying the probabilities of applying X, Y, and Z errors respectively.
* - ``PAULI_CHANNEL_2``
- Custom two qubit Pauli channel. Takes 15 arguments specifying the probabilities of applying each of the 15 non-identity two-qubit Pauli errors.
* - ``E`` (or ``CORRELATED_ERROR``)
- Correlated Pauli error on multiple qubits (requires ``pauli_string`` argument). Applies the specified Pauli string with probability $p$.
* - ``ELSE_CORRELATED_ERROR``
- Similar to ``CORRELATED_ERROR`` but only applies if the *previous* error instruction did NOT apply an error. This allows constructing more complex conditional error models.
Parameters
----------
stim_name : str
The name of the Stim error gate (e.g. ``DEPOLARIZE1``).
*params : float
The parameters of the error channel (e.g. error probability). Further
details about the semantics of the parameters can be found in the
`Stims gate reference <https://github.com/quantumlib/Stim/blob/main/doc/gates.md#noise-channels>`_
pauli_string : str, optional
A string of Pauli operators (e.g. ``XX``) for correlated errors.
Examples
--------
We construct a simple circuit that contains both: quantum gates and error instructions.
