Randomized Benchmarking allows to efficiently and scalably characterize the average error of an unitary 2-design such as the Clifford group $\mathcal{C}$ on a physical candidate for quantum computation, as long as there are no non-computational leakage levels in the system. We investigate the effect of leakage errors on Randomized Benchmarking induced from an additional level per physical qubit and provide a modified protocol that allows to derive reliable estimates for the error per gate in…

Randomized benchmarking in measurement-based quantum computing
• Computer Science
• 2016
This work adapts the randomized benchmarking protocol for a single qubit to a linear cluster state computation, which provides partial, yet efficient characterization of the noise associated with the target gate set.
Scalable randomized benchmarking of quantum computers using mirror circuits
• Computer Science, Physics
• 2021
This work uses a simple and customizable class of circuits — randomized mirror circuits — to perform scalable, robust, and flexible randomized benchmarking of Clifford gates, and shows that this technique approximately estimates the infidelity of an average many-qubit logic layer.
Scalable randomized benchmarking of non-Clifford gates
• Computer Science
• 2015
In their theoretical study, the researchers demonstrate how randomized benchmarking approaches can be expanded to a much broader range of logical operations, thereby enabling error benchmarking for all common logical operations used in leading quantum computing protocols.
From randomized benchmarking experiments to gate-set circuit fidelity: how to interpret randomized benchmarking decay parameters
• Computer Science
New Journal of Physics
• 2018
It is proved that single-qubit RB decay parameter p coincides with the decay parameter of the gate-set circuit fidelity, a novel figure of merit which characterizes the expected average fidelity over arbitrary circuits of operations from the gate, and conjecture that these results also hold for higher dimensions.
What Randomized Benchmarking Actually Measures.
• Mathematics
Physical review letters
• 2017
New theories of theRB decay are presented that are accurate for all small errors describable by process matrices, and it is shown that the RB decay curve is a simple exponential for all such errors.
Efficient unitarity randomized benchmarking of few-qubit Clifford gates
• Computer Science
Physical Review A
• 2019
This work provides a bound on the required number of data points for Clifford URB as a function of confidence and experimental parameters and shows that the unitarity of single-qubit Clifford gates can be rigorously estimated using few hundred data points under the assumption of gate-independent noise.
Quantification and characterization of leakage errors
• Computer Science
• 2018
Two quantities are proposed: the leakage and seepage rates, which together with average gate fidelity allow for characterizing the average performance of quantum gates in the presence of leakage and show how the randomized benchmarking protocol can be modified to enable the robust estimation of all three quantities for a Clifford gate set.
Direct Randomized Benchmarking for Multiqubit Devices.
• Computer Science
Physical review letters
• 2019
This Letter proposes a direct RB protocol that uses random circuits over the native gates in a device, which are seeded by an initial layer of Clifford-like randomization, and it can be extended to processors with more qubits and it reports a more directly informative and flexible error rate than the one reported by Clifford RB.
Randomized benchmarking with gate-dependent noise
It is proved that the exact impact of gate-dependent noise can be described by a single perturbation term that decays exponentially with the sequence length, and it is shown that the operational meaning of the decay parameter for gate- dependent noise is essentially unchanged.

It is shown that the Randomized Benchmarking protocol is a convolution amenable to Fourier space analysis, and an alternative proof of Wallman's and Proctor's bounds on the effect of gate-dependent noise on randomized benchmarking is provided.

It is still unknown whether there are families of tight knots whose lengths grow faster than linearly with crossing numbers, but the largest power has been reduced to 3/z, and some other physical models of knots as flattened ropes or strips which exhibit similar length versus complexity power laws are surveyed.
