This Pull request contains changes that will solve the #16677 issue .
The .leak() in file crates/circuit_library/src/suzuki_trotter.rs was only needed because sparse_term_evolution tied the returned iterator's lifetime to the input string. That tie is unnecessary as the function immediately copies everything it needs out of pauli (pauli.to_lowercase() and the derived owned paulis/indices) and never borrows from it afterwards. So I removed the lifetime bound from the crates/synthesis/src/pauli_evolution.rs file
