• Authors: Pedro Figueroa-Romero, Kavan Modi, Thomas M. Stace, Min-Hsiu Hsieh
• Abstract summary: We combine the randomized benchmarking protocol with a framework describing non-Markovian quantum phenomena. We show that one can identify non-Markovian features of the noise directly from the ASF through its deviations from the Markovian case. Our methods are directly implementable and pave the pathway to better understanding correlated noise in quantum processors.

• Abstract: Estimating the features of noise is the first step in a chain of protocols that will someday lead to fault tolerant quantum computers. The randomized benchmarking (RB) protocol is designed with this exact mindset, estimating the average strength of noise in a quantum processor with relative ease in practice. However, RB, along with most other benchmarking and characterization methods, is limited in scope because it assumes that the noise is temporally uncorrelated (Markovian), which is increasingly evident not to be the case. Here, we combine the RB protocol with a recent framework describing non-Markovian quantum phenomena to derive a general analytical expression of the average sequence fidelity (ASF) for non-Markovian RB with the Clifford group. We show that one can identify non-Markovian features of the noise directly from the ASF through its deviations from the Markovian case, proposing a set of methods to collectively estimate these deviations, non-Markovian memory time-scales, and diagnose (in)coherence of non-Markovian noise in an RB experiment. Finally, we demonstrate the efficacy of our proposal by means of several proof-of-principle examples. Our methods are directly implementable and pave the pathway to better understanding correlated noise in quantum processors.

  This paper considers label-level noise in image sensory anomaly detection for the first time. We propose a memory-based unsupervised AD method, SoftPatch, which efficiently denoises the data at the patch level. Compared with existing methods, SoftPatch maintains a strong modeling ability of normal data and alleviates the overconfidence problem in coreset.

  We present a general framework for quantum process tomography (QPT) in the presence of time-correlated noise. As an application of our method, we perform a comparative theoretical and experimental analysis of silicon spin qubits. We find good agreement between our theoretically predicted process fidelities and two qubit interleaved randomized benchmarking fidelities of 99.8% measured in recent experiments on silicon spin qubits.

• General treatment of Gaussian trusted noise in continuous variable quantum key distribution [1.0499611180329804]
  A trusted device scenario assumes that an adversary has no access to imperfections such as electronic noises in the detector is expected to provide significant improvement in the key rate. Here, we develop a simple and general treatment that can incorporate the effects of Gaussian trusted noises for any protocol that uses homodyne/heterodyne measurements. In our method, a rescaling of the outcome of a noisy homodyne/heterodyne detector renders it equivalent to the outcome of a noiseless detector with a tiny additional loss.

• Latent Class-Conditional Noise Model [54.56899309997246]
  We introduce a Latent Class-Conditional Noise model (LCCN) to parameterize the noise transition under a Bayesian framework. We then deduce a dynamic label regression method for LCCN, whose Gibbs sampler allows us efficiently infer the latent true labels. Our approach safeguards the stable update of the noise transition, which avoids previous arbitrarily tuning from a mini-batch of samples.

  This paper aims to devise a generalized maximum likelihood (ML) estimator to robustly detect signals with unknown noise statistics. In practice, there is little or even no statistical knowledge on the system noise, which in many cases is non-Gaussian, impulsive and not analyzable. Our framework is driven by an unsupervised learning approach, where only the noise samples are required.

• Confidence Scores Make Instance-dependent Label-noise Learning Possible [129.84497190791103]
  In learning with noisy labels, for every instance, its label can randomly walk to other classes following a transition distribution which is named a noise model. We introduce confidence-scored instance-dependent noise (CSIDN), where each instance-label pair is equipped with a confidence score. We find with the help of confidence scores, the transition distribution of each instance can be approximately estimated.
