Returns a AsymmetricDepolarizingChannel with given parameter.

cirq.ops.asymmetric_depolarize(
    p_x: Optional[float] = None,
    p_y: Optional[float] = None,
    p_z: Optional[float] = None,
    error_probabilities: Optional[Dict[str, float]] = None,
    tol: float = 1e-08
) -> cirq.ops.AsymmetricDepolarizingChannel

Used in the notebooks

This channel applies one of 4**n disjoint possibilities: nothing (the
identity channel) or one of the 4**n - 1 pauli gates.

This channel evolves a density matrix via


    $$
    \sum_i p_i Pi \rho Pi
    $$


where i varies from 0 to 4**n-1 and Pi represents n-qubit Pauli operator
(including identity). The input \\(\rho\\) is the density matrix before the
depolarization.

Args:
    p_x: The probability that a Pauli X and no other gate occurs.
    p_y: The probability that a Pauli Y and no other gate occurs.
    p_z: The probability that a Pauli Z and no other gate occurs.
    error_probabilities: Dictionary of string (Pauli operator) to its
        probability. If the identity is missing from the list, it will
        be added so that the total probability mass is 1.
    tol: The tolerance used making sure the total probability mass is
        equal to 1.
