Matrix-Completion Quantum State Tomography

Ahmad Farooq, Junaid ur Rehman, Hyundong Shin

The deployment of intermediate- and large-scale quantum devices necessitates the development of efficient full state tomographical techniques for quantum benchmarks. Here, we introduce a matrix filling-based method for tomography of pure quantum states, called the matrix-completion quantum state tomography. This method requires only 2n + 1 local Pauli operators and minimal post-processing for n-qubit states. Numerical results show that our method is highly efficient on superconducting real quantum devices and achieves better fidelity estimates of multiqubit quantum states as compared to contemporary pure state tomography methods. These desirable features of the matrix-completion quantum state tomography protocol make it suitable for the benchmarking of intermediate- and large-scale quantum devices dealing mainly with pure quantum states.

Bayesian mitigation of measurement errors in multiqubit experiments

F. Cosco, Francesco Plastina, Nicola Lo Gullo

In Phys. Rev. A 108, L060402 (2023), we introduced a Bayesian measurement error mitigation algorithm, which leveraged complete information from the readout signal, and validated the protocol on a quantum device with five superconducting qubits. Here, we present an improved algorithm's implementation, tailored for multiqubit experiments on near-term superconducting qubit quantum devices. In particular, we provide a detailed algorithm workflow, from calibrating the detector response functions to the postprocessing of measurement outcomes, offering a computationally efficient solution for the output size typical of current quantum computing devices. We show how the numerical representation of the noise function affects the performance of the error mitigation algorithm and test the convergence criteria. We benchmark our protocol on actual quantum computers with superconducting qubits, where the readout signal encodes the measurement information as unprocessed analog data before qubit state assignment. Finally, we compare the performance of our algorithm against other measurement error mitigation methods, such as iterative Bayesian unfolding and the Mthree method, and show how our method can be integrated on top of other readout error mitigation protocols.

Experimental Bayesian estimation of quantum state preparation, measurement, and gate errors in multiqubit devices

Haggai Landa, Dekel Meirom, Naoki Kanazawa +2 more

We introduce a Bayesian method for the estimation of single-qubit errors in quantum devices, and use it to characterize these errors on three superconducting 27-qubit devices. We self-consistently estimate up to seven parameters of each qubit's state preparation, readout, and gate errors, analyze the stability of these errors as a function of time, and demonstrate easily implemented approaches for mitigating different errors before a quantum computation experiment. On the investigated devices we find non-negligible qubit reset errors that cannot be parametrized as a diagonal mixed state, but manifest as a coherent phase in a superposition with a small contribution from the qubit's excited state. We are able to mitigate such errors by applying prerotations on the initialized qubits, which we demonstrate with multiqubit entangled states. Our results show that Bayesian estimation can resolve small parameters---including those pertaining to quantum gate errors---with a high relative accuracy, at a lower measurement cost as compared with standard characterization approaches.
