State-dependent Routing Dynamics in Noisy Quantum Computing Devices

Abstract

Routing plays an important role in programming noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, where limited connectivity in the register is overcome by swapping quantum information between locations. However, routing a quantum state using noisy gates introduces non-trivial noise dynamics, and deciding on an optimal route to minimize accumulated error requires estimates of the expected state fidelity. Here we validate a model for state-dependent routing dynamics in a NISQ processor based on correlated binary noise. We develop a composable, state-dependent noise model for CNOT and SWAP operations that can be characterized efficiently using pair-wise experimental measurements, and we compare model predictions with tomographic state reconstructions recovered from a quantum device. These results capture the state-dependent routing dynamics that are needed to guide routing decisions for near-real time operation of NISQ devices.
