Experimental Characterization of Crosstalk Errors with Simultaneous Gate Set Tomography

Kenneth Rudinger, Craig W. Hogle, Ravi K. Naik +11

Crosstalk is a leading source of failure in multiqubit quantum information processors. It can arise from a wide range of disparate physical phenomena, and can introduce subtle corr…
