affine_jac_element(prep, error, meas, outcome)#

Computes the Jacobian matrix element for a Affine error: how the probability of outcome changes with respect to the rate of error when preparing state prep and measuring in basis meas.

Note: Affine error maps leave qubits corresponging to I’s in error alone. An affine error is defined as replacing portions of the density matrix corresponding to non-trivial Pauli operators with those operators.

Parameters:

  • prep (NQPauliState) – The state that is prepared.

  • error (NQPauliOp) – The type (as a pauli operator) of Affine error.

  • meas (NQPauliState) – The basis that is measured (essentially the POVM).

  • outcome (NQOutcome) – The measurement outcome that is considered.

Return type:
