• Abstract: Quantum system calibration is limited by the ability to characterize a quantum state under unknown device errors. We develop an accurate calibration protocol that is blind to the precise preparation of a specific quantum state. It extracts device errors from simple tomographic data only, and does not require bespoke experiments for a priori specified error mechanisms. Using a trapped-ion quantum computer, we experimentally demonstrate the accuracy of the method by recovering intentional miscalibrations. We then use blind calibration to estimate the native calibration parameters of the experimental system. The recovered calibrations are close to directly measured values and perform similarly in predicting state properties.

  We introduce kernel-based calibration metrics that unify and generalize popular forms of calibration for both classification and regression. These metrics admit differentiable sample estimates, making it easy to incorporate a calibration objective into empirical risk minimization. We provide intuitive mechanisms to tailor calibration metrics to a decision task, and enforce accurate loss estimation and no regret decisions.

  Mitigating errors in quantum information processing devices is especially important in the absence of fault tolerance. Here, we use classical shadows and randomized measurements to circumvent the need for coherent access to multiple copies at an exponential cost. We optimize measurement resources under realistic experimental constraints and apply our method to an experiment preparing Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state with trapped ions.

  Current schemes typically require measurement devices for tomography that are a priori calibrated to high precision.

We numerically demonstrate that robust blind quantum tomography is possible in a practical setting inspired by an implementation of trapped ions.
