• Abstract: Understanding the limitations imposed by noise on current and next-generation quantum devices is a crucial step towards demonstrations of quantum advantage with practical applications. In this work, we investigate the accumulation of entropy density as a benchmark to monitor the performance of quantum processing units. A combination of analytical methods, numerical simulations, and experiments on programmable superconducting quantum circuits is used to build a simple yet practical heuristic model of entropy accumulation based on global depolarising noise. This demonstrates the potential of such an approach to construct effective heuristic models. The monitoring of entropy density not only offers a novel and complementary approach to existing circuit-level benchmarking techniques, but more importantly, it provides a much needed bridge between circuit-level and application-level benchmarking protocols. In particular, our heuristic model of entropy accumulation allows us to improve over existing techniques to bound the circuit size threshold beyond which quantum advantage is unattainable.
