If the identity is applied with probability p and the three nonidentity Pauli operators each with probability (1−p)/3, the Bloch vector retention factor is (4p−1)/3. Thus complete depolarization occurs at p=1/4, not at zero. The Holevo capacity of a qubit depolarizing channel becomes 1−h2​((2p+1)/3) in this identity-probability parametrization.
