Abstract
Creating scalable, reliable, and well-motivated benchmarks for quantum computers is challenging: straightforward approaches to benchmarking suffer from exponential scaling, are insensitive to important errors, or use poorly-motivated performance metrics. Furthermore, curated benchmarking suites cannot include every interesting quantum circuit or algorithm, which necessitates a tool that enables the easy creation of new benchmarks. In this work, we introduce a software tool for creating scalable and reliable benchmarks that measure a well-motivated performance metric (process fidelity) from user-chosen quantum circuits and algorithms. Our software, called , enables the creation of efficient and robust benchmarks even from circuits containing thousands or millions of qubits, by employing efficient fidelity estimation techniques, including mirror circuit fidelity…
