Summary

Fix a bug in qiskit.quantum_info in the calculation of expectation value of the identity operator.

Fixes #13029

Details and comments

Currently, qiskit.quantum_info yields incorrect results for the expectation value of an identity operator for a given state vector. It returns the norm of the state vector; however, it ought to return the square of the norm.

Therefore, I am changing the following line

if x_mask + z_mask == 0:
return pauli_phase * np.linalg.norm(self.data)

to

   if x_mask + z_mask == 0: 
       return pauli_phase * np.linalg.norm(self.data) ** 2
