Oai280-C@1#prop:calibration
Suppose the prepared input-reference state is at trace distance at most from , and a bounded measurement's implemented mean observable differs from in operator norm by at most . Then
is a valid coefficient allowance.
Proof. Channels contract trace distance, so the actual output-reference state is within trace distance of . The expectation difference for an observable of operator norm at most one is bounded by the trace norm, hence by . The measurement-observable discrepancy contributes at most .
