文摘This article describes a proposal for a double index to estimate the isotropic components of unitary errors in a quantum computation circuit. In the context of this work the error is considered isotropic if it has spherical symmetry about the state of interest. The theoretical definition is given, as well the numerical approximation for practical purposes. The index is tested in some simple examples and the geometric distortion of the propagated error is studied for an inaccurate Shor 9-qubits correcting code.
