+ * Let @f$ n @f$ qubits be the number of qubits in @p qureg.
+ * 
+ * - When @p qureg is a statevector @f$ \svpsi @f$, this function returns
+ *   @f[ 
+    \sum\limits_i^{2^n} \langle i \svpsi \in \mathbb{C}.
+ *   @f]
+ * - When @p qureg is a density matrix @f$ \dmrho @f$, this function returns
+ *   @f[ 
+    \sum\limits_i^{2^n} \sum\limits_j^{2^n} \bra{i} \dmrho \ket{j} \in \mathbb{C}.
