State tomography with Pauli basis measurements for a high number of qubits
32 qubits give you a Hilbert space dimension of $d=2^{32} = 4\,294\,967\,296$. A recent paper has done tomography of $d=20$ dimensional state, with the highest infidelities for tomography made so far ...

Is there an expression for the partial trace of a vectorized density matrix?
Let $\rho$ be a bipartite linear operator (it doesn't really matter here whether it's Hermitian, positive, or anything else). Denote with $\operatorname{vec}(\rho)$ its vectorisation.
The partial ...

Action of a channel on an "unphysical" state
A quantum channel sends states to states, which are positive semidefinite matrices. But it is a linear map. There's no problem in extending its action to all matrices by linearity, since every matrix ...

How simulation of noisy quantum circuits is done in Qiskit using the statevector method
Trajectory - the simulator draws in random (probability depends on the quantum state and noise) one of the Kraus operators, applies it, and normalizes the state. For a large number of shots, if you ...

CNOT gate an elementary example of a single qubit quantum operation
My understanding about CNOT gate is that the control qubit remains the same and only the target qubit flips iff the control qubit state is $|1\rangle$.
This is a reasonable intuition but it is ...

CNOT gate an elementary example of a single qubit quantum operation
First let's clarify the configuration of the system described in the book - Given a principal system in inital state $\rho$ and the environement being simplified to a system in an initial state $|0\...

Writing a Density matrix in terms of the magnitude of the Bloch Vector
It must be a typo. Remember that a density matrix must have trace 1, which yours does, and your expected answer doesn't.
