+    r"""
+    An N-qubit unitary operator from the Clifford group.
+
+    An N-qubit Clifford operator takes Paulis to Paulis via conjugation
+    (up to a global phase). More precisely, the Clifford group :math:`\mathcal{C}_N`
+    is defined as
+
+     .. math::
+
+        \mathcal{C}_N = \{ U \in U(2^N) | U \mathcal{P}_N U^{\dagger} = \mathcal{P}_N \} / U(1)
+
+     where :math:`\mathcal{P}_N` is the Pauli group on :math:`N` qubits
+     that is generated by single-qubit Pauli operators,
+     and :math:`U` is a unitary operator in the unitary group
+     :math:`U(2^N)` representing operations on :math:`N` qubits.
+     :math:`\mathcal{C}_N` is the quotient group by the subgroup of
+     scalar unitary matrices :math:`U(1)`.
