Refining quantum fidelity: approaches in quantum error correction
摘要
Quantum fidelity is a cornerstone metric for evaluating the accuracy and reliability of quantum information processes, particularly in noise- and error-prone environments. This study presents a comprehensive exploration of refined approaches to quantum fidelity within the framework of quantum error correction (QEC). Central to our analysis is the role of fidelity in preserving quantum states and mitigating the impact of noise across QEC codes such as the Steane code and Shor code. By leveraging density matrices, which encapsulate the statistical and quantum coherence properties of quantum systems, we conduct a mode analysis with respect to the off-diagonal elements, unveiling their critical influence on state preservation and error resilience. A key focus is the interpolation parameter
