• Abstract: Spatiotemporally correlated errors are widespread in quantum devices and are particularly adversarial to error correcting schemes. To characterize these errors, we propose and validate a nonparametric quantum noise spectroscopy (QNS) protocol to estimate both spectra and static errors associated with spatiotemporally correlated dephasing noise and fluctuating quantum crosstalk on two qubits. Our scheme reconstructs the real and imaginary components of the two-qubit cross-spectrum by using fixed total time pulse sequences and single qubit and joint two-qubit measurements to separately resolve spatially correlated noise processes. We benchmark our protocol by reconstructing the spectra of spatiotemporally correlated noise processes engineered via the Schrödinger Wave Autoregressive Moving Average technique, emulating dephasing errors. Furthermore, we show that the protocol can outperform existing comb-based QNS protocols. Our results demonstrate the utility of our protocol in characterizing spatiotemporally correlated noise and quantum crosstalk in a multi-qubit device for potential use in noise-adapted control or error protection schemes.

This type of errors affects spectator qubits that, ideally, should remain unaltered during the application of single- and two-qubit quantum gates addressed at a different set of active qubits. We microscopically model crosstalk errors from first principles and present a detailed study showing the importance of using a coherent vs incoherent error modelling and, moreover, discuss strategies to actively suppress this crosstalk at the gate level.
