Description

Create an example test using pytest. This entails:

1. Adding pytest as a dependency
2. Define a helper function which can create from-scratch quantum state vectors (i.e. without using an instantiator from any of the backends), to be run as initial states for test circuits
3. Choose an example circuit to test on the qumat circuit execution and then on the backend native execution, followed by a comparison of the two final state vectors
4. Ensure that (for now) there is at least one test per backend available (expecting qiskit and cirq atm)
