+
+    The circuit for the Fourier checking algorithm, introduced in [1],
+    involves a layer of Hadamards, the function :math:`f`, another layer of
+    Hadamards, the function :math:`g`, followed by a final layer of Hadamards.
+    The functions :math:`f` and :math:`g` are classical functions realized
+    as phase oracles (diagonal operators with {-1, 1} on the diagonal).
+
+    The probability of observing the all-zeros string is :math:`p(f,g)`.
+    The algorithm solves the promise Fourier checking problem,
+    which decides if f is correlated with the Fourier transform
+    of g, by testing if :math:`p(f,g) <= 0.01` or :math:`p(f,g) >= 0.05`,
+    promised that one or the other of these is true.
+
+    The functions :math:`f` and :math:`g` are currently implemented
+    from their truth tables but could be represented concisely and
+    implemented efficiently for special classes of functions.
+
+    Fourier checking is a special case of :math:`k`-fold forrelation [2].

+    .. math::
+
+        |G\rangle = \prod_{(a,b) \in E} CZ_{(a,b)} {|+\rangle}^{\otimes V}

+
+    Graph state preparation circuits are Clifford circuits, and thus
