r"""Convert a fermionic operator to a qubit operator using the Jordan-Wigner mapping.
The fermionic creation and annihilation operators are mapped to the Pauli operators as
.. math::
a^{\dagger}_0 = \left (\frac{X_0 - iY_0}{2} \right ), \:\: \text{...,} \:\:

where :math:`X`, :math:`Y`, and :math:`Z` are the Pauli operators.
Args:
fermi_operator(FermiWord, FermiSentence): the fermionic operator
ps (bool): whether to return the result as a PauliSentence instead of an
Operator. Defaults to False.
wire_map (dict): a dictionary defining how to map the orbitals of
the Fermi operator to qubit wires. If None, the integers used to
order the orbitals will be used as wire labels. Defaults to None.
tol (float): tolerance for discarding the imaginary part of the coefficients
Returns:
Union[PauliSentence, Operator]: a linear combination of qubit operators

r"""Convert a fermionic operator to a qubit operator using the parity mapping.
.. note::
Hamiltonians created with this mapping should be used with operators and states that are
compatible with the parity basis.
In parity mapping, qubit :math:`j` stores the parity of all :math:`j-1` qubits before it.
In comparison, :func:`~.jordan_wigner` simply uses qubit :math:`j` to store the occupation number.
In parity mapping, the fermionic creation and annihilation operators are mapped to the Pauli operators as
.. math::
\begin{align*}
a^{\dagger}_0 &= \left (\frac{X_0 - iY_0}{2} \right )\otimes X_1 \otimes X_2 \otimes ... X_n, \\\\
a^{\dagger}_n &= \left (\frac{Z_{n-1} \otimes X_n - iY_n}{2} \right ) \otimes X_{n+1} \otimes X_{n+2} \otimes ... \otimes X_n
\end{align*}
and
.. math::
\begin{align*}
a_0 &= \left (\frac{X_0 + iY_0}{2} \right )\otimes X_1 \otimes X_2 \otimes ... X_n,\\\\
a_n &= \left (\frac{Z_{n-1} \otimes X_n + iY_n}{2} \right ) \otimes X_{n+1} \otimes X_{n+2} \otimes ... \otimes X_n
\end{align*}
where :math:`X`, :math:`Y`, and :math:`Z` are the Pauli operators and :math:`n` is the number of qubits, i.e., spin orbitals.
Args:
fermi_operator(FermiWord, FermiSentence): the fermionic operator
n (int): number of qubits, i.e., spin orbitals in the system
ps (bool): whether to return the result as a :class:`~.PauliSentence` instead of an
:class:`~.Operator`. Defaults to ``False``.
wire_map (dict): a dictionary defining how to map the orbitals of
the Fermi operator to qubit wires. If ``None``, the integers used to
order the orbitals will be used as wire labels. Defaults to ``None``.
tol (float): tolerance for discarding the imaginary part of the coefficients
