• Abstract: In quantum information, device-independent protocols offer a new approach to information processing tasks, making minimal assumptions about the devices used. Typically, since these protocols draw conclusions directly from the data collected in a meaningful Bell test, the no-signaling conditions, and often even Born's rule for local measurements, are taken as premises of the protocol. Here, we demonstrate how to test such premises in an (almost) device-independent setting, i.e., directly from the raw data and with minimal assumptions. In particular, for IBM's quantum computing cloud services, we implement the prediction-based ratio protocol to characterize how well the qubits can be accessed locally and independently. More precisely, by performing a variety of Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt-type experiments on these systems and carrying out rigorous hypothesis tests on the collected data, we provide compelling evidence showing that some of these qubits suffer from cross-talks, i.e., their measurement statistics are affected by the choice of measurement bases on another qubit. Unlike standard randomized benchmarking, our approach does not rely on assumptions such as gate-independent Markovian noise. Moreover, despite the relatively small number of experimental trials, the direction of "signaling" may also be identified in some cases. Our approach thus serves as a complementary tool for benchmarking the local addressability of quantum computing devices.

  We propose to employ the quantum state matching protocol for the purpose of testing and benchmarking quantum computers. By comparing measured values with the theoretical conditional probability of the single, final post-selected qubit, we define a benchmark metric. A careful analysis of the measured values indicates that its dependence on the initial phase can reveal useful information about coherent gate errors of the quantum device.

  Bell tests are the most rigorous method for verifying entanglement in quantum networks. If there is any signaling between the parties, then the violation of Bell inequalities can no longer be used. We propose a semi-device independent protocol that allows us to numerically correct for effects of correlations in experimental probability distributions.
