mindquantum.core.gates.BitFlipChannel#

class mindquantum.core.gates.BitFlipChannel(p: float, **kwargs)#

A bit flip channel.

Bit flip channel express error that randomly flip the qubit (applies \(X\) gate) with probability \(P\), or do noting (applies \(I\) gate) with probability \(1-P\).

Bit flip channel applies noise as:

\[\epsilon(\rho) = (1 - P)\rho + P X \rho X\]

where \(\rho\) is quantum state as density matrix type; \(P\) is the probability of applying an additional \(X\) gate.

Parameters:

p (int, float) – probability of occurred error.

Examples

>>> from mindquantum.core.gates import BitFlipChannel
>>> from mindquantum.core.circuit import Circuit
>>> circ = Circuit()
>>> circ += BitFlipChannel(0.02).on(0)
>>> print(circ)
