Linear Algebra Vector: $|\psi\rangle$ Row vector: $\langle\psi|=(\overline{|\psi\rangle})^T$ Inner product: $\langle\psi|\varphi\rangle=\sum i\overline{u} iv i$ $\langle\varphi|A|\...
Postulates of Quantum Mechanics
Postulates 1. Associated to any isolated physical system is a complex vector space with inner product known as state space of the system. The system is completely describled by its...

Quantum Error Correction
Distance Measures over distribution Given two distribution $\{p x\},\{q x\}$ Trace distance (Total variance): $D(p x,q x) = \frac{1}{2}\sum {x\in X}|p x q x|$ Fidelity: $F(p x,q x)...
