Better Pauli Channel Learning with Maximum Likelihood Estimation

Daniel Belkin, Faisal Alam, Matthew Thibodeau +3

Error mitigation in a noisy quantum device requires a very good estimate of the noise channel. The accuracy of probabilistic error cancellation is often limited by the high sample…

Apparent Universal Behavior in Second Moments of Random Quantum Circuits

Daniel Belkin, James Allen, Bryan K. Clark

Just how fast does the brickwork circuit form an approximate 2-design? Is there any difference between anticoncentration and being a 2-design? Does geometry matter? How deep a circ…

Absence of censoring inequalities in random quantum circuits

Daniel Belkin, James Allen, Bryan K. Clark

Ref. 1 asked whether deleting gates from a random quantum circuit architecture can ever make the architecture a better approximate -design. We show that it can. In particular, w…

Conditional t-independent spectral gap for random quantum circuits and implications for t-design depths

James Allen, Daniel Belkin, Bryan K. Clark

A fundamental question is understanding the rate at which random quantum circuits converge to the Haar measure. One quantity which is important in establishing this rate is the spe…

The Floquet Fluxonium Molecule: Driving Down Dephasing in Coupled Superconducting Qubits

Matthew Thibodeau, Angela Kou, Bryan K. Clark

High-coherence qubits, which can store and manipulate quantum states for long times with low error rates, are necessary building blocks for quantum computers. Here we propose a dri…
