Abstract
Characterizing quantum dynamics is a cornerstone pursuit across quantum physics, quantum information science, and quantum computation. The precision of quantum gates in manipulating input basis states and their intricate superpositions is paramount. In this study, we conduct a thorough analysis of the SQSCZ gate, a universal two-qubit entangling gate, using real quantum hardware. This gate is a fusion of the square root of SWAP () and the square root of controlled-Z () gates, serves as a foundational element for constructing universal gates, including the controlled-NOT gate. we begin by explaining the theory behind quantum process tomography (QPT), exploring the \textit{Choi-Jamiolkowski} isomorphism or the Choi matrix representation of the quantum process, along with a QPT algorithm utilizing Choi representation. Subsequently, we provide detailed insights into the experimental realization of the SQSCZ gate using a transmon-based superconducting qubit quantum computer. To comprehensively assess the gate's performance on a noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computer, we conduct QPT experiments across diverse environments, employing both IBM Quantum's simulators and IBM Quantum's real quantum computer. Leveraging the Choi matrix in our QPT experiments allows for a comprehensive characterization of our quantum operations. Our analysis unveils commendable fidelities and noise properties of the SQSCZ gate, with process fidelities reaching and , respectively. These findings hold promising implications for advancing both theoretical understanding and practical applications in the realm of quantum computation.
