• Abstract summary: This paper presents a data-driven characterization approach for estimating transition frequencies and decay times in a superconducting quantum device. The data includes parity events in the transition frequency between the first and second excited states. A simple but effective mathematical model, based upon averaging solutions of two Lindbladian models, is demonstrated to accurately capture the experimental observations.

• Abstract: Motivated by the noisy and fluctuating behavior of current quantum computing devices, this paper presents a data-driven characterization approach for estimating transition frequencies and decay times in a Lindbladian dynamical model of a superconducting quantum device. The data includes parity events in the transition frequency between the first and second excited states. A simple but effective mathematical model, based upon averaging solutions of two Lindbladian models, is demonstrated to accurately capture the experimental observations. A deterministic point estimate of the device parameters is first performed to minimize the misfit between data and Lindbladian simulations. These estimates are used to make an informed choice of prior distributions for the subsequent Bayesian inference. An additive Gaussian noise model is developed for the likelihood function, which includes two hyper-parameters to capture the noise structure of the data. The outcome of the Bayesian inference are posterior probability distributions of the transition frequencies, which for example can be utilized to design risk neutral optimal control pulses. The applicability of our approach is demonstrated on experimental data from the Quantum Device and Integration Testbed (QuDIT) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, using a tantalum-based superconducting transmon device.

  We show that existing noise models fail to properly capture the aggregation of noise effects over an algorithm's runtime. We develop noise model for the readout probabilities as a function of the number of gate operations. We superimpose a second random walk at the scale of multiple readouts to account for overdispersion.

  We propose binned-detector probability distributions as a suitable quantity to statistically validate GBS experiments. We show how to compute such distributions by leveraging their connection with their respective characteristic function.

  Transmon qubits experience open system effects that manifest as noise at a broad range of frequencies. We present a model of these effects using the Redfield master equation with a hybrid bath consisting of low and high-frequency components. We use two-level fluctuators to simulate 1/f-like noise behavior, which is a dominant source of decoherence for superconducting qubits.

  Diffusion models have recently emerged as a powerful framework for generative modeling. We introduce a mathematically rigorous framework called Denoising Diffusion Operators (DDOs) for training diffusion models in function space. We show that the corresponding discretized algorithm generates accurate samples at a fixed cost independent of the data resolution.

  We introduce the qDrift protocol, which builds random product formulas by sampling from the Hamiltonian according to the coefficients. We show that the simulation cost can be reduced while achieving the same accuracy, by considering the individual simulation cost during the sampling stage. Results are confirmed by numerical simulations performed on a lattice nuclear effective field theory.

  Distortion of the input fields in an experimental platform alters the model accuracy and disturbs the predicted dynamics. We present an effective method for estimating these distortions which is suitable for non-linear transfer functions of arbitrary lengths and magnitudes. We have successfully tested our approach for a numerical example of a single Rydberg atom system.

  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.

We then design a numerical algorithm to compute the drift, diffusion coefficient and jump measure, and thus extract a governing equation with Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise.
