Back to manuscript

The full estimate (eq:main-noise) charges complete tick maps, not merely active SWAP gates. This distinction is necessary when idle storage or the terminal wait is imperfect.

For example, suppose the auxiliary preparations are independent states with

Product-state telescoping gives

The corresponding encoding-channel half-diamond error has the same bound: its difference tensors the input with this fixed state difference.

Consequently, if each complete tick map has error at most and the final output map has error at most , then

Uniform conditions

are sufficient.

No independence between payload and reference is imposed. Independence is imposed on auxiliary preparation. Other preparation models may instead use a separately certified complete encoding allowance.
