Title
Quantum Error Characterization and Benchmarking
Abstract
Abstract-Characterizing the performance of noisy quantum circuits is essential for advancing prototype quantum computers. It helps optimize experimental setups and can uncover noise biases that could be leveraged for more effective quantum error correction strategies. Traditional Quantum Process Tomography, however, is not scalable. Consequently, several partial characterization methods have been developed, with Randomized Benchmarking (RB) standing out as the most widely used due to its scalability and resilience against SPAM errors. In this presentation I would talk about a technique called Cycle Error Reconstruction (CER) where the idea is similar to any RB experiments but it also helps in extracting details of the associated noise profile. I would also show some experimental results from an upcoming paper obtained by performing CER on an ion-trapped system. I would conclude by talking about other potential research problems in quantum error characterization and correction on which I have started to work on.
