Generalized Svetlichny Inequalities as a Cross-Platform Benchmark for Quantum Processors

Andrés Camilo Granda Arango, Giuseppe Sergioli, Luigi Iapichino +3

A cross-platform benchmark should be device-independent yet sensitive to imperfections accumulated during execution. Building on prior work, we formulate and validate a protocol th…
