[论文解读] Experimental demonstration of Pauli-frame randomization on a superconducting qubit
本文在超导量子比特上实现了泡利框架随机化(PFR),将相干的、非马尔可夫性错误转换为随机泡利错误,显著提升了量子误差模型的准确性。通过量子门集层析成像(GST),作者表明PFR将非马尔可夫性特征从43σ至1987σ降低至0.3σ–2.7σ之间,并提升了泡利误差模型的保真度,且未造成门保真度下降,甚至降低了钻石范数误差率。
The promise of quantum computing with imperfect qubits relies on the ability of a quantum computing system to scale cheaply through error correction and fault-tolerance. While fault-tolerance requires relatively mild assumptions about the nature of qubit errors, the overhead associated with coherent and non-Markovian errors can be orders of magnitude larger than the overhead associated with purely stochastic Markovian errors. One proposal to address this challenge is to randomize the circuits of interest, shaping the errors to be stochastic Pauli errors but leaving the aggregate computation unaffected. The randomization technique can also suppress couplings to slow degrees of freedom associated with non-Markovian evolution. Here we demonstrate the implementation of Pauli-frame randomization in a superconducting circuit system, exploiting a flexible programming and control infrastructure to achieve this with low effort. We use high-accuracy gate-set tomography to characterize in detail the properties of the circuit error, with and without the randomization procedure, which allows us to make rigorous statements about Markovianity as well as the nature of the observed errors. We demonstrate that randomization suppresses signatures of non-Markovian evolution to statistically insignificant levels, from a Markovian model violation ranging from $43\sigma$ to $1987\sigma$, down to violations between $0.3\sigma$ and $2.7\sigma$ under randomization. Moreover, we demonstrate that, under randomization, the experimental errors are well described by a Pauli error model, with model violations that are similarly insignificant (between $0.8\sigma$ and $2.7\sigma$). Importantly, all these improvements in the model accuracy were obtained without degradation to fidelity, and with some improvements to error rates as quantified by the diamond norm.
