• Abstract summary: Lindblad tomography is a hardware-agnostic characterization protocol for tomographically reconstructing the Hamiltonian and Lindblad operators of a quantum noise environment. We show that this technique characterizes and accounts for state-preparation and measurement (SPAM) errors and allows one to place bounds on the fit to a Markovian model.

• Abstract: As progress is made towards the first generation of error-corrected quantum computers, robust characterization and validation protocols are required to assess the noise environments of physical quantum processors. While standard coherence metrics and characterization protocols such as T1 and T2, process tomography, and randomized benchmarking are now ubiquitous, these techniques provide only partial information about the dynamic multi-qubit loss channels responsible for processor errors, which can be described more fully by a Lindblad operator in the master equation formalism. Here, we introduce and experimentally demonstrate Lindblad tomography, a hardware-agnostic characterization protocol for tomographically reconstructing the Hamiltonian and Lindblad operators of a quantum noise environment from an ensemble of time-domain measurements. Performing Lindblad tomography on a small superconducting quantum processor, we show that this technique characterizes and accounts for state-preparation and measurement (SPAM) errors and allows one to place bounds on the fit to a Markovian model. Comparing the results of single- and two-qubit measurements on a superconducting quantum processor, we demonstrate that Lindblad tomography can also be used to identify and quantify sources of crosstalk on quantum processors, such as the presence of always-on qubit-qubit interactions.

  We introduce Lindblad-like quantum tomography (L$ell$QT) as a quantum characterization technique of time-correlated noise in quantum information processors. We discuss L$ell$QT for the dephasing dynamics of single qubits in detail, which allows for a neat understanding of the importance of including multiple snapshots of the quantum evolution in the likelihood function.

We demonstrate that the FCM-based QEM technique allows for reasonable improvement of the expectation values of single- and two-qubit gates based quantum circuits.

• Readout error mitigated quantum state tomography tested on superconducting qubits [0.0]
  We test the ability of readout error mitigation to correct realistic noise found in systems composed of quantum two-level objects (qubits) By treating readout error mitigation in the context of state tomography the method becomes largely readout mode-, architecture-, noise source-, and quantum state-independent. We identify noise sources for which readout error mitigation worked well, and observed decreases in readout by a factor of up to 30.

We use machine learning-based classification algorithms to extract information from this critical dynamics.
