+The key idea is that if we average the error process over the uniform space of
+unitaries the result is a depolarizing channel that maps any pure state to the

 Such uniform space of unitaries is known as *Haar measure*.
 It can be shown :cite:p:`Emerson_2005` that the average induced error is proportional
 to the depolarization probability.
 However, this approach is inefficient because we sample randomly from the Haar measure.
