Ideal vs Noisy Circuit Study

Compare an ideal Bell circuit with explicit bit-flip, phase-flip, and readout-noise assumptions.

Evaluation: rubric-based self-assessment and automatic workflow validation. No human review is provided.

Brief

Predict ideal output, define one toy channel at a time, compare distributions, and state what the model cannot establish about hardware.

Prerequisites

  • Chapters 5 and 8
  • Bell-state probabilities
  • Introductory channel notation

Outcomes

  • Define comparable ideal and noisy models
  • Diagnose channel-specific output patterns
  • Limit conclusions to the simulated assumptions

Deliverables

  • Ideal reference table
  • Channel equations and parameter convention
  • At least three comparison cases
  • Difference metrics
  • Hardware limitation statement

Milestones

  1. 1. Ideal state and probability table
  2. 2. Noise-channel definitions
  3. 3. Distribution comparison
  4. 4. Limitations and next experiment

Hints

  • Introduce one channel at a time before combining errors.
  • Keep finite-shot variation separate from channel error.
  • A toy channel is not a device benchmark.

Rubric

  • Ideal and noisy models are separated
  • Channel parameter conventions are stated
  • Observed effects match the model
  • Hardware claims remain appropriately limited

Self-assessment prompts

  • Can each observed change be traced to a declared assumption?
  • Are parameter conventions explicit?
  • Would the conclusion survive a stronger classical baseline?
