Day 653 of 2,016~11 min read

Learning Objectives

•**Define** the phase-flip channel and compare it to bit-flip
•**Explain** why phase-flip errors are "uniquely quantum"
•**Analyze** the effect of phase errors on quantum superpositions
•**Connect** phase-flip to physical dephasing processes
•**Identify** which states are protected from phase errors
•**Understand** why phase errors are critical for quantum computing
