A Simple way of Encoding qubit in Stabilizer Codes with Stim

In Stim, is there a easy way to encode qubits into a code state $| 0_L \rangle$ in stabilizer codes, other than constructing an encoding quantum circuit? For example, in Steane's seven-qubit code, can ...

Initialize data qubits in the first step of syndrome measurement

I saw many papers that say that in syndrome measurement of the stabilizer codes, such as surface codes and color codes, firstly, all data qubits are initialized to $|0\rangle$. What is the reason? I ...

Can we always simultaneously diagonalize $H_A \otimes \mathbb{1}$ and $\mathbb{1} \otimes H_B$?

Suppose we have systems $A$ and $B$ with respective Hamiltonians $H_A \otimes \mathbb{1}$ and $\mathbb{1} \otimes H_B$. These Hamiltonians commute, so they share the same eigenbasis and hence can be ...

What does the notation $\sum_\lambda \lambda \left | \lambda \right > \left < \lambda \right |$ mean?

In many places, I see a form of representing a matrix with: $A = \sum_\lambda \lambda \left | \lambda \right> \left < \lambda \right |$ Where $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue, and $\left | \lambda \...

Interpretation of the unitaries involved in the eigenvalue decomposition of a density operator

If $\rho=\sum_{i}p_{i}|\psi_{i}\rangle\langle \psi_{i}|$, this ensemble doesn't require $\langle \psi_{i}|\psi_{j}\rangle$=0. Given that $\rho$ is positive semi-definite, by the spectral theorem it ...
