Abstract

Calibration of quantum devices is fundamental to successfully deploy quantum algorithms on current available quantum hardware. We present Qibocal, an open-source software library to perform calibration and characterization of superconducting quantum devices within the Qibo framework. Qibocal completes the Qibo middleware framework by providing all necessary tools to easily (re)calibrate self-hosted quantum platforms. After presenting the layout and the features of the library, we give an overview on some of the protocols implemented to perform single and two-qubit gates calibration. Finally, we present applications involving recalibration and monitoring of superconducting platforms.
