But note, that not all FLO unitaries are of that form. For example $X_i$ is also a FLO
gate since it either commutes or anti-commutes with all Majorana operators, but the associated
matrix $R$ always has determinant $-1$.

Calculating the expectation values of hamiltonians like the one above when evolving the
vacuum state with FLO circuits is efficiently possible. First evolve the
