In recent years, significant progress has been made in the research on errors in quantum deletion/insertion channels along with the development of error-correcting codes. However, the current channel model may not be applicable in specific scenarios, such as when using coherent-state qubits as funda-mental qubits. Here, we materialize the conventional error model of synchronization errors to accommodate coherent-state qubits and their superposition states. Additionally, we quantitatively assess the discrepancies between the conventional error model and our more realistic approach, underscoring the limitations of the former in practical applications.
