• Abstract: We propose an Ensemble Feature Selection (EFS) method for fast estimation of process infidelity of involutory multi-qubit gates, including non-Clifford targets, for which standard Clifford-based benchmarking does not apply. The method selects a compact set of experimentally executable circuit measurements from a candidate pool through offline training on a physically motivated ensemble of noisy channels, and combines them into a linear estimator with weights learned by ridge regression. The training ensemble is an explicit and tunable component of the protocol, incorporating prior knowledge about dominant hardware noise mechanisms. The estimator is validated on ibm_kingston using two Clifford validation benchmarks structurally related to the transpiled CCZ circuit, against independent Interleaved Randomized Benchmarking (IRB). Both show close EFS-IRB agreement across a wide range of process infidelities, with an estimation precision of approximately 0.01 over a process infidelity range of 0.02-0.2. EFS is subsequently applied directly to CCZ on the same device.

  Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (QKD) employs the quadratures of a bosonic mode to establish a secret key between two remote parties. We consider a protocol with homodyne detection in the general setting of composable finite-size security. In particular, we analyze the high signal-to-noise regime which requires the use of high-rate (non-binary) low-density parity check codes.
