We demonstrate that a classical emulation of quantum gate operations, here represented by an actual analog electronic device, can be modeled accurately as a quantum operation in terms of a universal set of Pauli operators. This observation raises the possibility that quantum error correction methods may be applied to classical systems to improve fault tolerance.
