Qubit Health Analytics and Clustering for HPC-Integrated Quantum Processors

Abstract

Quantum computing in supercomputing centers requires robust tools to analyze calibration datasets, predict hardware performance, and optimize operational workflows. This paper presents a data-driven framework for processing calibration metrics. Our model is based on a real calibration quality metrics dataset from our in-house 20-qubit NISQ device and for more than 250 days. We apply detailed data analysis to uncover temporal patterns and cross-metric correlations. Using unsupervised clustering, we identify stable and noisy qubits. We also validate our model using GHZ state experiments. Our study provides health indicators as well as hardware-driven maintenance and recalibration recommendations, thus motivating the integration of relevant schedulers with HPCQC workflows.
