Pauli-mixture parametrization of qubit depolarization
ID: pauli-mixture-parametrization-of-qubit-depolarization
If the identity is applied with probability and the three nonidentity Pauli operators each with probability , the Bloch vector retention factor is . Thus complete depolarization occurs at , not at zero. The Holevo capacity of a qubit depolarizing channel becomes in this identity-probability parametrization.
