Operator backpropagation (OBP) is a technique to reduce circuit depth by trimming operations from its end at the cost of more operator measurements. There are a number of ways in which operator backpropagation can be performed, and this package uses a method based on Clifford perturbation theory [1].

Add a new sentence to the start of the Theoretical Background section:

The OBP procedure implemented in this package is described in detail in [1]. When using the Estimator primitive, the output of a quantum workload is the estimation of one or more expectation...
