For the first output qubit,A Clifford circuit maps the Pauli observable under conjugation to a tensor-product Pauli operator , found by propagating it backward through the circuit in polynomial time. Since the input is a product state,Each factor is efficiently computable, so both one-bit output probabilities are strongly simulatable. This is Heisenberg propagation of a Pauli observable through a Clifford circuit.
