i
Choose ∣ψ0​⟩=∣+⟩ and its orthogonal companion ∣ψ1​⟩=∣−⟩. Since X∣+⟩=∣+⟩, either branch of RandomFlip returns the same pure state. Alice therefore obtains label 0 with certainty, and
Pr(1∣RandomFlip)=0.​
(1)
The alternative choice ∣−⟩ also works: its sign change under X is only a global phase. The useful property is being a Pauli eigenstate of the Pauli X gate.
