Benchmarking and characterization of quantum devices

Benchmarking and characterization of quantum devices Identifying error sources and efficiently characterizing the properties of quantum operations acting on individual qubits, multiple qubits, or entire quantum processors is crucial to overcome coherence limitations of quantum computers. Different benchmarking techniques can be useful to isolate and identify sources of errors. In particular, different implementations of Randomized Benchmarking can provide insights into processes that limit qubit coherence times. In this project you will gain thorough understanding of the noise sensitivities of various benchmarking techniques and implement them in the experimental control stack. You will be able to use state-of-the-art control hardware with the ability to program quantum circuits using gate-based algorithms with on-device logic in order to achieve efficient control of quantum processors. Ideally, these techniques will be used to identify dominant noise sources and eliminate those using appropriate amendments to the microwave control setup.
