Multiple choice
The amplitude-damping channel with g=0.3g = 0.3 has Kraus operators K0=[1001g]K_0 = \begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 \\ 0 & \sqrt{1-g}\end{bmatrix} and K1=[0g00]K_1 = \begin{bmatrix}0 & \sqrt{g} \\ 0 & 0\end{bmatrix}. Compute the completeness sum M=K0K0+K1K1M = K_0^\dagger K_0 + K_1^\dagger K_1 and report the Frobenius distance to the identity, ij(MijIij)2\sqrt{\sum_{ij} (M_{ij} - I_{ij})^2}. What is this value?
