• Title: Characterizing the Stability of NISQ Devices
• Authors: Samudra Dasgupta, Travis S. Humble
• Abstract summary: We develop the metrics and theoretical framework to quantify the DiVincenzo requirements and study the stability of those key metrics. For identical experiments, devices which produce reproducible histograms in time, and similar histograms in space, are considered more reliable. We illustrate our methodology using data collected from IBM's Yorktown device.

• Abstract: In this study, we focus on the question of stability of NISQ devices. The parameters that define the device stability profile are motivated by the work of DiVincenzo where the requirements for physical implementation of quantum computing are discussed. We develop the metrics and theoretical framework to quantify the DiVincenzo requirements and study the stability of those key metrics. The basis of our assessment is histogram similarity (in time and space). For identical experiments, devices which produce reproducible histograms in time, and similar histograms in space, are considered more reliable. To investigate such reliability concerns robustly, we propose a moment-based distance (MBD) metric. We illustrate our methodology using data collected from IBM's Yorktown device. Two types of assessments are discussed: spatial stability and temporal stability.

  Stability Index (SI) is a new metric that can comprehensively evaluate the stability of 3D detectors in terms of confidence, box localization, extent, and heading. To help models improve their stability, we introduce a general and effective training strategy, called Prediction Consistency Learning (PCL) PCL essentially encourages the prediction consistency of the same objects under different timestamps and augmentations, leading to enhanced detection stability.

  Noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices are valuable platforms for testing the tenets of quantum computing. These devices are susceptible to errors arising from de-coherence, leakage, cross-talk and other sources of noise. Here, we quantify the reliability of NISQ devices by assessing the necessary conditions for generating stable results within a given tolerance.
