Construct a BitFlipChannel that flips a qubit state with probability p.
cirq.bit_flip(
p: Optional[float] = None
) -> Union[cirq.XPowGate, cirq.BitFlipChannel]

|---|
If p is None, this returns a guaranteed flip in the form of an X operation.
This channel evolves a density matrix via
\[ \rho \rightarrow M_0 \rho M_0^\dagger + M_1 \rho M_1^\dagger \]
With
\[ \begin{aligned} M_0 =& \sqrt{p} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \\ M_1 =& \sqrt{1-p} \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & -0 \end{bmatrix} \end{aligned} \]
Args | |
|---|---|
p
|
the probability of a bit flip. |
Raises | |

ValueError
|
if p is not a valid probability. |
