Heralded Pauli X correction using controlled-Z and measurements
ID: heralded-pauli-x-correction-using-controlled-z-and-measurements
Two angle-zero one-bit teleportations with outcomes implement on an arbitrary input, up to global phase. A Controlled-Z gate with a fixed quantum ancilla implements , so removes the known factor. The result is up to phase. With probability one half the desired Pauli X gate is applied; otherwise the input is unchanged. Repeating until gives an exact heralded correction with two attempts on average and almost-sure termination. It has no finite worst-case measurement count. A Pauli frame avoids this repeat-until-success procedure when only logical action or classical output statistics are required.
