r"""Sequence of gates that diagonalize the operator in the computational basis (static method).
Given the eigendecomposition :math:`O = U \Sigma U^{\dagger}` where
:math:`\Sigma` is a diagonal matrix containing the eigenvalues,
the sequence of diagonalizing gates implements the unitary :math:`U^{\dagger}`.
The diagonalizing gates rotate the state into the eigenbasis
of the operator.

Args:
state_vector (Iterable): state vector that the operator projects on.
wires (Iterable[Any], Wires): wires that the operator acts on.
Returns:
list[.Operator]: list of diagonalizing gates.
**Example**
>>> state_vector = np.array([1., 1j])/np.sqrt(2)
