• Abstract: Randomized compiling reduces the effects of errors on quantum computers by tailoring arbitrary Markovian errors into stochastic Pauli noise. Here we prove that randomized compiling also tailors non-Markovian errors into local stochastic Pauli noise and investigate the technique's limitations. We show through analysis and numerical results that randomized compiling alters errors in three distinct helpful ways. First, it prevents the coherent accumulation of errors (including hard to remove crosstalk effects) across gate cycles by destroying intercycle coherent correlations. Second, it converts individual gate cycle errors into Pauli noise. Finally, randomized compiling reduces the variability inherent to noisy devices. We confirm these theoretical predictions with the IBM Quantum Experience platform and describe experimental data that illustrates a drastic performance improvement across public devices. These results cement the importance of randomized compiling in near- and long-term quantum information processing.

  We study the structure of non-Markovian correlated errors and their impact on surface code memory performance. Our analysis shows that while not all temporally correlated structures are detrimental, certain structures, particularly multi-time "streaky" correlations, can severely degrade logical error rate scaling.

We motivate the extension of an incoherent local Pauli noise model to coherent errors and present a practical characterization protocol for an arbitrary gate layer.

  We consider biased-noise qubits affected only by bit-flip errors, which is motivated by existing systems of stabilized cat qubits. For realistic noise models, phase-flip will not be negligible, but in the Pauli-Twirling approximation, we show that our benchmark could check the correctness of circuits containing up to $106$ gates.

  Quantum Error Correction (QEC) exploits redundancy by encoding logical information into multiple physical qubits. We present a detailed microscopic error model to estimate the average gate infidelity of two-qubit light-shift gates used in trapped-ion platforms. We then apply this realistic error model to quantify the multipartite entanglement generated by circuits that act as QEC building blocks.

  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.
