How is the measurement of the $Z_0Z_2$ error syndrome realised by these two circuits?

I am told that the following quantum circuit diagram implements the $Z_0Z_2$ error syndrome, but I don't follow. I understand error syndromes when expressed in matrix form and how performing $Z_0Z_2| …

Derivation of QFT product formula

If the quantum fourier transform is defined as follows: $$ U_{FT} |x\rangle = \frac{1}{2^{n/2}} \sum^{2^n-1}_{y=0} e^{2\pi i x y / 2^n} | y \rangle. $$ We can rewrite the exponential term as: $$ e^{2\ …

Understanding the probability of measurement w.r.t. density matrix

I am told that the probability of measuring $\lambda$ is $$p_\lambda = Tr(\hat{P}_\lambda\hat{\rho}) = Tr(\hat{P}_\lambda\hat{\rho}\hat{P}_\lambda)$$ where $\hat{P}_\lambda = \sum_{n:\lambda_n = \lamb …
