-             The conjugation of P by C is equal to C**-1 * P * C (circuit order where C**-1

+             If P is a Pauli product before a Clifford operation C, then this method returns
+             Q = C * P * C**-1 (the conjugation of P by C). Q is the equivalent Pauli product
+             after C. This works because:
