• Authors: Max Werninghaus and Daniel Egger and Stefan Filipp
• Abstract summary: Active qubit reset increases the speed at which data can be gathered but requires additional hardware and/or calibration. In this case, the outcome of a first measurement serves as the initial state for the next experiment. We show how to efficiently analyze restless measurements and correct distortions to achieve an identical outcome and accuracy as compared to measurements in which the superconducting qubits are reset.

• Abstract: To Characterize and calibrate quantum processing devices a large amount of measurement data has to be collected. Active qubit reset increases the speed at which data can be gathered but requires additional hardware and/or calibration. The experimental apparatus can, however, be operated at elevated repetition rates without reset. In this case, the outcome of a first measurement serves as the initial state for the next experiment. Rol. $\textit{et al.}$ used this restless operation mode to accelerate the calibration of a single-qubit gate by measuring fixed-length sequences of Clifford gates which compose to $X$ gates [Phys. Rev. Appl. $7$, 041001 (2017)]. However, we find that, when measuring pulse sequences which compose to arbitrary operations, a distortion appears in the measured data. Here, we extend the restless methodology by showing how to efficiently analyze restless measurements and correct distortions to achieve an identical outcome and accuracy as compared to measurements in which the superconducting qubits are reset. This allows us to rapidly characterize and calibrate qubits. We illustrate our data collection and analysis method by measuring a Rabi oscillation at a $250~\rm{kHz}$ repetition rate without any reset, for a qubit with a decay rate of $1/2\pi T_1=3~\rm{kHz}$. We also show that we can measure a single- and a two-qubit average gate fidelity with Randomized Benchmarking 20 and 8 times faster, respectively, than measurements that reset the qubits through $T_1$-decay.

• To reset, or not to reset -- that is the question [2.749898166276854]
  Text-book quantum error correction demands that qubits are reset after measurement. Many cutting-edge quantum error correction experiments are opting for the no-reset approach. We find that unconditionally resetting qubits can reduce the duration of fault-tolerant logical operation by up to a factor of two.

  We develop a simulator of restless circuit execution based on a Markov Chain to study the effect of leakage. We show that restless calibration tolerates up to 0.5% of leakage which is large compared to the $10-4$ gate fidelity of modern single-qubit gates. Our results are obtained with standard qubit state discrimination showing that restless circuit execution is resilient against misclassified non-computational states.
