• Abstract: The characterization of quantum devices is crucial for their practical implementation but can be costly in experimental effort and classical postprocessing. Therefore, it is desirable to measure only the information that is relevant for specific applications and develop protocols that require little additional effort. In this work, we focus on the characterization of quantum computers in the context of stabilizer quantum error correction. For arbitrary stabilizer codes, subsystem codes, and data syndrome codes, we prove that the logical error channel induced by Pauli noise can be estimated from syndrome data under minimal conditions. More precisely, for any such code, we show that the estimation is possible as long as the code can correct the noise.

  We study the problem of decoding quantum information encoded in the groundspaces of topological stabilizer Hamiltonians. We first prove that the standard stabilizer-based error correction and decoding schemes work adequately perturbed well in such quantum codes. We then prove that Quantum Neural Network (QNN) decoders provide an almost quadratic improvement on the readout error.

  The presence of noise in quantum computers hinders their effective operation. We suggest the application of the so-called quantum state matching protocol for testing purposes. For systematically varied inputs we find that the device with the smaller quantum volume performs better on our tests than the one with larger quantum volume.

  We study coherent errors on a quantum hardware platform using a transverse field Ising model Hamiltonian as a sample user application. We identify inter-day and intra-day qubit calibration drift and the impacts of quantum circuit placement on groups of qubits in different physical locations on the processor. This paper also discusses how these measurements can provide a better understanding of these types of errors and how they may improve efforts to validate the accuracy of quantum computations.

  In quantum information processing quantum operations are often processed alongside measurements which result in classical data. Non-unitary dynamical processes can take place on the system, for which common quantum channel descriptions fail to describe the time evolution. Quantum measurements are correctly treated by means of so-called quantum instruments capturing both classical outputs and post-measurement quantum states.

  We show that a stabilizer code can be used to estimate Pauli channels with correlations across a number of qubits given by the pure distance. It also allows for measurement errors within the framework of quantum data-syndrome codes. It is our hope that this work opens up interesting applications, such as the online adaptation of a decoder to time-varying noise.

• Crosstalk Suppression for Fault-tolerant Quantum Error Correction with Trapped Ions [62.997667081978825]
  We present a study of crosstalk errors in a quantum-computing architecture based on a single string of ions confined by a radio-frequency trap, and manipulated by individually-addressed laser beams. This type of errors affects spectator qubits that, ideally, should remain unaltered during the application of single- and two-qubit quantum gates addressed at a different set of active qubits. We microscopically model crosstalk errors from first principles and present a detailed study showing the importance of using a coherent vs incoherent error modelling and, moreover, discuss strategies to actively suppress this crosstalk at the gate level.

  Quantum error correction allows to actively correct errors occurring in a quantum computation when the noise is weak enough. Traditionally, this information is obtained by benchmarking the device before operation. We address the question of what can be learned from only the measurements done during decoding.

• Fault-tolerant Coding for Quantum Communication [71.206200318454]
  encode and decode circuits to reliably send messages over many uses of a noisy channel. For every quantum channel $T$ and every $eps>0$ there exists a threshold $p(epsilon,T)$ for the gate error probability below which rates larger than $C-epsilon$ are fault-tolerantly achievable. Our results are relevant in communication over large distances, and also on-chip, where distant parts of a quantum computer might need to communicate under higher levels of noise.
