Returns the list of sequences, the corresponding list of signs and the one-norm of the quasi-probability representation (of the input operation). For example, if the ideal operation is U with representation U = a A + b B, then this function returns A with probability :math:`|a| / (|a| + |b|)` and B with probability :math:`|b| / (|a| + |b|)`. Also returns sign(a) (sign(b)) and :math:`|a| + |b|` if A (B) is sampled. Note that the ideal operation can be a sequence of operations (circuit), for instance U = V W, as long as a representation is known. Similarly, A and B can be sequences of operations (circuits) or just single operations.
