Heisenberg propagation of a Pauli observable through a Clifford circuit

ID: heisenberg-propagation-of-a-pauli-observable-through-a-clifford-circuit

To compute a single-qubit output probability of a Clifford circuit, propagate its measured Pauli observable backward through the circuit. Every conjugation remains a tensor-product Pauli, whose expectation on a product state factors into efficiently computable one-qubit expectations.
