• Abstract: Benchmarking of noise that is induced during the implementation of quantum gates is the main concern for practical quantum computers. Several protocols have been proposed that empirically calculate various metrics that quantify the error rates of the quantum gates chosen from a preferred gate set. Unitarity randomized benchmarking (URB) protocol is a method to estimate the coherence of noise induced by the quantum gates which is measured by the metric \textit{unitarity}. In this paper, we for the first time, implement the URB protocol in a quantum simulator with all the parameters and noise model are used from a real quantum device. The direct implementation of the URB protocol in a quantum device is not possible using current technologies, as it requires the preparation of mixed states. To overcome this challenge, we propose a modification of the URB protocol, namely the m-URB protocol, that enables us to practically implement it on any quantum device. We validate our m-URB protocol using two single-qubit noise channels -- (a) depolarising channel and (b) bit-flip channel. We further alter the m-URB protocol, namely, native gate URB or Ng-URB protocol, to study the noise in the native gates into which the quantum circuits are compiled in a quantum computer. Using our Ng-URB protocol, we can also detect the presence of cross-talk errors which are correlated errors caused due to non-local and entangling gates such as CNOT gate. For illustration, we simulate the noise of the native gates taking the noise parameter from two real IBM-Q processors.

  QuantumSEA is an in-time sparse exploration for noise-adaptive quantum circuits. It aims to achieve two key objectives: (1) implicit circuits capacity during training and (2) noise robustness. Our method establishes state-of-the-art results with only half the number of quantum gates and 2x time saving of circuit executions.

  Noise remains the major obstacle to scalable quantum computation. We propose a method to infer the noise properties of the target gate, including process fidelity, fidelity, and some unitary parameters, from the eigenvalues of its noisy channel. Our method is insensitive to state-preparation and measurement errors, and importantly, can benchmark universal gates and is scalable to many-qubit systems.

  Quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) uses the quantum channel to transmit information reliably and securely. In order to eliminate the security loopholes resulting from practical detectors, the measurement-device-independent (MDI) QSDC protocol has been proposed. We propose a single-photon-memory MDI QSDC protocol (SPMQC) for dispensing with high-performance quantum memory.
