Additional Information:
The diagonal observable :math:`O` is input using the ``diagonal`` kwarg as
a list or Numpy array :math:`[O(0), ..., O(2^n -1)]`. If no diagonal is specified
the diagonal of the Pauli operator
:math`O = \mbox{diag}(Z^{\otimes n}) = [1, -1]^{\otimes n}` is used.
The ``clbits`` kwarg is used to marginalize the input counts dictionary
over the specified bit-values, and the ``qubits`` kwarg is used to specify
which physical qubits these bit-values correspond to as
``circuit.measure(qubits, clbits)``.
