Whole-device entanglement in a 65-qubit superconducting quantum computer

Abstract

The ability to generate large-scale entanglement is an important progenitor of quantum information processing capability in noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. In this paper, we investigate the extent to which entangled quantum states over large numbers of qubits can be prepared on current superconducting quantum devices. We prepared native-graph states on the IBM Quantum 65-qubit $\textit{ibmq_manhattan}$ device and the 53-qubit $\textit{ibmq_rochester}$ device and applied quantum readout-error mitigation (QREM). Connected entanglement graphs spanning each of the full devices were detected, indicating bipartite entanglement over the whole of each device. The application of QREM was shown to increase the observed entanglement within all measurements, in particular, the detected number of entangled pairs of qubits found within $\textit{ibmq_rochester}$ increased from 31 to 56 of the total 58 connected pairs. The results of this work indicate full bipartite entanglement in two of the largest superconducting devices to date.
