Self-consistent tomography of temporally correlated errors
arXiv:1811.02734
Abstract
The error model of a quantum computer is essential for optimizing quantum algorithms to minimize the impact of errors using quantum error correction or error mitigation. Noise with temporal correlations, e.g. low-frequency noise and context-dependent noise, is common in quantum computation devices and sometimes even significant. However, conventional tomography methods have not been developed for obtaining an error model describing temporal correlations. In this paper, we propose self-consistent tomography protocols to obtain a model of temporally correlated errors, and we demonstrate that our protocols are efficient for low-frequency noise and context-dependent noise.
