Characterizing error propagation in quantum circuits: the Isotropic Index
arXiv:1610.05223 · doi:10.1007/s11128-016-1507-5
Abstract
This paper presents a novel index in order to characterize error propagation in quantum circuits by separating the resultant mixed error state in two components: an isotropic component, that quantifies the lack of information, and a dis-alignment component, that represents the shift between the current state and the original pure quantum state. The Isotropic Triangle, a graphical representation that fits naturally with the proposed index, is also introduced. Finally, some examples with the analysis of well-known quantum algorithms degradation are given.
