Multiple choice
An amplitude-damping channel with damping probability g=0.3g = 0.3 has Kraus operators K0=[1001−g]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}. It acts on ρ=∣1⟩⟨1∣\rho = |1\rangle\langle 1|. What is the resulting excited-state population ⟨1∣E(ρ)∣1⟩\langle 1|E(\rho)|1\rangle?
