Multiple choice
A noisy magic state is the depolarizing mixture ρ=(1−p)∣T⟩⟨T∣+p(I/2)\rho = (1 - p)|T\rangle\langle T| + p(I/2). Its infidelity to the ideal ∣T⟩|T\rangle is 1−⟨T∣ρ∣T⟩1 - \langle T|\rho|T\rangle, where ⟨T∣(I/2)∣T⟩=1/2\langle T|(I/2)|T\rangle = 1/2. For p=0.08p = 0.08, what is the input error 1−⟨T∣ρ∣T⟩1 - \langle T|\rho|T\rangle?
