The commands below internally use the same routine as that for calculating
reduced density operators (See Sec. 9).
Let the reduced density operator of the i-th qubit be
.
Then the probability of the i-th qubit being 0 is , and
the superficial bias of it is defined as
. The values of and
may be changed even by single-qubit rotation gates.
On the other hand, there is a definition of polarization that is
independent of a macroscopic spin direction: Let
be the matrix obtained from a unitary diagonalization of
(
). Then the intrinsic bias of the qubit is defined
as
.
- Every probability of each specified qubit being
measured as 0 is printed by the command:
bprobs (bit labels);
- All the probabilities of individual qubits being
measured as 0 are printed by the command:
bprobs;
- The intrinsic biases of specified individual qubits are printed by
the command:
ibiases (bit labels);
- All the intrinsic biases of individual qubits are printed by
the command:
ibiases;
- The superficial biases of specified individual qubits
are printed by the command:
sbiases (bit labels);
- All the superficial biases of individual qubits are printed by
the command:
sbiases;
Example:
> init-mixed 0.6 0.7 0.8;
> bprobs(1-3);
1:0.6 2:0.7 3:0.8
> sbiases;
1:0.2 2:0.4 3:0.6
> H(2);
> sbiases;
1:0.2 2:0 3:0.6
> ibiases;
1:0.2 2:0.4 3:0.6
