| Operator | Eigenvalue | Light Polarization | Corresponding Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| X | +1 | D (Diagonal) | D/A |
| X | -1 | A (Anti-Diagonal) | D/A |
| Y | +1 | R (Right-Circular) | R/L |
| Y | -1 | L (Left-Circular) | R/L |
| Z | +1 | H (Horizontal) | H/V |
| Z | -1 | V (Vertical) | H/V |
Here's a useful table on what gates to apply to get to the X,Y, and Z observables from the digital

| Observable | Gates | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| X | H | D/A |
| Y | R/L | |
| Z | none | H/V |
