Error Models¶

class py_qcode.ErrorModel(prob_op_list)¶

Wraps a list of tuples corresponding to a discrete probability and an operator. This assumes independent identically-distributed noise, though not necessarily Pauli.

Parameters:	prob_op_list (list) – A list of probabilites and associated operators. The probabilites are floats which must sum to 1 to within $10^{-12}$ . The operators are represented by strings which must be drawn from the list of acceptable operators [‘I’,’X’,’Y’,’Z’,’H’,’P’] Each pair (a probability and its associated operator) is stored in a tuple.

Pre-defined Models¶

py_qcode.depolarizing_model(p)¶: The depolarizing model applies the identity with probability $1-p$ , and each of the single qubit Pauli operators $X$ , $Y$ , and $Z$ with probability $\dfrac{p}{3}$ .

py_qcode.iidxz_model(px, pz=None)¶: The independent identically-distributed X/Z model applies a bit and phase flip to each site, resulting in a reduced probability of Y errors
