• Abstract summary: In this work, we formulate signatures of unitary evolution based on specific properties of periodically driven quantum systems. The absence of these signatures indicates a break either in the unitarity or periodicity condition on the evolution. We experimentally detect incoherent error on a trapped-ion quantum computer using these signatures.

• Abstract: As quantum computers and simulators begin to produce results that cannot be verified classically, it becomes imperative to develop a variety of tools to detect and diagnose experimental errors on these devices. While state or process tomography is a natural way to characterize sources of experimental error, the intense measurement requirements make these strategies infeasible in all but the smallest of quantum systems. In this work, we formulate signatures of unitary evolution based on specific properties of periodically driven quantum systems. The absence of these signatures indicates a break either in the unitarity or periodicity condition on the evolution. We experimentally detect incoherent error on a trapped-ion quantum computer using these signatures. Our method is based on repeated measurements of a single observable, making this a low-cost evaluation of error with measurement requirements that scales according to the character of the dynamics, rather than the system size.

• Quantum Non-Demolition Measurements and Leggett-Garg inequality [0.0]
  Quantum non-demolition measurements define a non-invasive protocol to extract information from a quantum system. This protocol leads to a quasi-probability distribution for the measured observable outcomes, which can be negative. We show that there are situations in which Leggett-Garg inequalities are satisfied even if the macrorealism condition is violated.

  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.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.

  We report on experimental tests of topological defect formation via the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model. We find that the quantum simulator results can indeed be explained by the KZM for open-system quantum dynamics with phase-flip errors. This implies that the theoretical predictions of the generalized KZM theory, which assumes isolation from the environment, applies beyond its original scope to an open system.
