Parameters

  • cycle (Cycle | dict) – The cycle to benchmark or an argument to instantiate the cycle.

  • n_random_cycles (Iterable) – A list of positive integers specifying how many random cycles will be generated during the protocol, e.g. [4, 20].

  • n_circuits (int) – The number of circuits for each number of random cycles.

  • n_decays (int) – An integer specifying the total number of randomly chosen Pauli decay strings used to measure the process infidelity or the probability of each error. Warning: Setting this value lower than min(20, 4 ** n_qubits - 1) may result in a biased estimate of the process fidelity, and setting this value lower than min(40, 4 ** n_qubits - 1) may result in a biased estimate of the probability for non-identity errors.

  • targeted_errors (Iterable) – A list of Pauli strings, e.g. ["ZIZIZ", "XYXYX"] that specify which errors to target. By default, the Pauli I * n_qubits is used to estimate the probability of no error, i.e. the process fidelity.

  • twirling_group (Iterable) – The twirling group to use in this protocol. This can be one of "P" (Pauli), "C" (Clifford), "SU" (special unitary), or "I" (Identity). The twirling group will be the tensor product of the specified group on the keys of the cycle to be benchmarked. A mixture of groups on different labels can be specified by an iterable of groups and labels, for example, [["P", 0], ["C", 1, 2], ["C", 3]], where ["C", 1, 2] specifies the two-qubit Clifford group acting on the labels [1, 2] and ["C", 3] specifies the one-qubit Clifford group acting on the label 3. Any unspecified elements of labels will be set to "P". Warning: "I" is provided as a convenience method for expert users to identify coherent errors and/or crosstalk even though an exponential decay is not expected.

  • propagate_correction (bool) – Whether to propagate correction gates to the end of the circuit or compile them in to neighbouring cycles. Warning: can result in arbitrary two-qubit gates at the end of the circuit!

Returns

A collection of CB circuits.

Crosstalk Diagnostics

trueq.make_crosstalk_diagnostics(labels, n_random_cycles, n_circuits=30, subsets=None, include_xrb=True, twirling_group=None)

Generates a CircuitCollection to measure the discrepancy between gate quality while applying gates simultaneously versus while applying gates in an isolated way to each individual system. See also the CTD guide.

This discrepancy is assessed by running SRB simultaneously on the specified systems, as well as running it on each system in turn. Optionally, and True by default, the coherence of crosstalk errors is assessed using XRB. Therefore, this function is equivalent to concatenating the circuits from multiple calls to make_srb() (and optionally make_xrb()) with different label configurations.

import trueq as tq

# generate a circuit collection to run crosstalk diagnostics in single qubit
# mode for qubits 5, 6, 7, and 8
circuits = tq.make_crosstalk_diagnostics([5, 6, 7, 8], [4, 100])

# reduce the number of circuits to perform by excluding XRB circuits
# this means we cannot distinguish between coherent errors (due to static
# crosstalk) and incoherent errors (due to fluctuating crosstalk)
circuits = tq.make_crosstalk_diagnostics(
    [5, 6, 7, 8], [4, 100], include_xrb=False
)

# we can also twirl some pairs of systems using entangling gates
circuits = tq.make_crosstalk_diagnostics(
    [5, [6, 7], 8], [4, 100], include_xrb=False
)

# using the subsets option, we can customize exactly which subsets of the full
# simultaneous twirl are performed in isolation. Here, the default value would
# have resulted in subsets [[5],[6],[[7, 8]]]
circuits = tq.make_crosstalk_diagnostics(
    [5, 6, [7, 8]], [4, 100], include_xrb=False, subsets=[[5], [5, 6], [[7, 8]]]
)
Parameters

  • labels (Iterable) – A list of which sets of system labels are to be twirled together in each circuit, e.g. [3, [1, 2], 4].

  • n_random_cycles (Iterable) – A list of positive integers specifying how many random cycles will be generated during the protocol, e.g. [6, 20].

  • n_circuits (int) – The number of circuits for at each n_random_cycles for each protocol.

  • subsets (Iterable) – A list of subsets of the given labels to be used. The default value of None results in each subset being a member of the given labels. See the last example above.

  • include_xrb (bool) – Whether to include XRB circuits in the output.

  • twirling_group (Iterable) – The twirling group to use in this protocol. This can be either "C" (Clifford) or "SU" (special unitary). The twirling group will be the tensor product of the specified group on the labels to be benchmarked. A mixture of groups on different labels can be specified by an iterable of groups and labels such as [["SU", 0], ["C", 1, 2], ["C", 3]], where ["C", 1, 2] specifies the two-qubit Clifford group acting on the labels [1, 2] and ["C", 3] specifies the one-qubit Clifford group acting on the label 3. Any unspecified labels will be set to "C".

Returns

trueq.make_irb(cycle, n_random_cycles, n_circuits=30, twirling_group=None, propagate_correction=False)

import trueq as tq

# generate a circuit collection to run single qubit IRB on an X gate acting on
# qubit 0, with 30 random circuits for each circuit length in [5, 40, 60, 100]
circuits = tq.make_irb({0: tq.Gate.x}, [5, 40, 60, 100], 30)

# next, generate circuits to run IRB on a cycle with an X gate acting on qubit 0
# and a CZ gate on qubits (2, 3), with 20 random circuits at each circuit length

Note

We invert each random sequence up to an independent random Pauli matrix (accessible as shown in the example above) to diagnose errors to that are missed by always returning to the initial state (see arXiv:1901.00535).

Warning

The estimate of the process fidelity obtained by taking the ratio of the process fidelities from IRB and SRB is subject to a large systematic uncertainty that is typically not reported. This systematic uncertainty arises because of the many ways in which the noise in the twirling group can combine with the noise in the interleaved gates. Both the standard interleaved estimate and the systematic uncertainty are automatically computed by fit if the circuit collection contains SRB circuits. The systematic uncertainty can be reduced if the circuit collection also contains XRB circuits.

Parameters

  • cycle (Cycle | dict) – The cycle to benchmark or an argument to instantiate the cycle.

  • n_random_cycles (Iterable) – A list of positive integers specifying how many random cycles will be generated during the protocol, e.g. [6, 20].

  • n_circuits (int) – The number of circuits for each number of random cycles.

  • twirling_group (Iterable) – The twirling group to use in this protocol. This can be either "C" (Clifford) or "SU" (special unitary). The twirling group will be the tensor product of the specified group on the labels of the cycle to be benchmarked. A mixture of groups on different keys can be specified by an iterable of groups and labels such as [["P", 0], ["C", 1, 2], ["C", 3]], where ["C", 1, 2] specifies the two-qubit Clifford group acting on the labels [1, 2] and ["C", 3] specifies the one-qubit Clifford group acting on the label 3. Any unspecified keys of the cycle to be benchmarked will be set to "C".

  • propagate_correction (bool) – Whether to propagate correction gates to the end of the circuit or compile them in to neighbouring cycles. Warning: can result in arbitrary two-qubit gates at the end of the circuit!

Returns

A collection of IRB circuits.

Make KNR

trueq.make_knr(cycle, n_random_cycles, n_circuits=30, n_bodies=1, twirling_group=None, propagate_correction=False)

For example, if the input cycle is {0: tq.Gate.id, (1, 3): tq.Gate.cnot, 2: tq.Gate.x} and n_bodies=2, then data will be present to reconstruct any Pauli error rate on the subsystems [0, 1, 3], [0, 2], [1, 2, 3] (and any subsystems thereof, e.g. [1, 2] but not [0, 1, 2]).

Note

The number of returned circuits scales mildly with the number of total systems but exponentially with the value of n_bodies.

Parameters

  • cycle (Cycle | dict) – The cycle to benchmark or an argument to instantiate the cycle.

  • n_random_cycles (Iterable) – A list of positive integers specifying how many random cycles will be generated during the protocol, e.g. [6, 20].

  • n_circuits (int) – The number of circuits for each number of random cycles.

  • n_bodies (int) – A number of gate bodies to reconstruct marginal probability distributions for.

  • twirling_group (Iterable) – The twirling group to use in this protocol. This can be one of "P" (Pauli), "C" (Clifford), "SU" (special unitary), or "I" (Identity). The twirling group will be the tensor product of the specified group on the keys of the cycle to be benchmarked. A mixture of groups on different labels can be specified by an iterable of groups and labels, for example, [["P", 0], ["C", 1, 2], ["C", 3]], where ["C", 1, 2] specifies the two-qubit Clifford group acting on the labels [1, 2] and ["C", 3] specifies the one-qubit Clifford group acting on the label 3. Any unspecified elements of labels will be set to "P". Warning: "I" is provided as a convenience method for expert users to identify coherent errors and/or crosstalk even though an exponential decay is not expected.

  • propagate_correction (bool) – Whether to propagate correction gates to the end of the circuit or compile them in to neighbouring cycles. Warning: can result in arbitrary two-qubit gates at the end of the circuit!

Returns

A collection of KNR circuits.

Return type

CircuitCollection

Make RCAL

trueq.make_rcal(labels, stagger=False, independent=True, batch=None)

Generates a CircuitCollection to measure the readout errors on the provided system labels. These circuits contain \(I\) and \(X\) gates. See the RCAL guide for more information.

Parameters

  • labels (Iterable) – A list of the system labels whose readout errors are to be estimated.

  • stagger (bool) – Whether \(X\) gates should appear in separate immutable cycles. If the gates are much worse when applied in parallel, then staggering them will reduce systematic errors, provided that the gate duration multiplied by the number of qubits is much shorter than \(T_1\).

  • independent (bool) – Whether it can be assumed that the readout error is independent over qubits. Under this assumption, only two circuits are required, whereas \(2^n\) circuits are required when this assumption does not hold. Note that if you measure the readout calibration matrix in both independent and non-independent modes, any observed non-independence could potentially be due to gate crosstalk errors.

  • batch (int) – A unique identifier for these calibration circuits. Other circuits which are to be calibrated based on these circuits’ results in particular should set their trueq.Circuit.key batch attribute to the same value.

Returns

A circuit collection to measure the readout errors on the provided system labels.

Parameters

  • cycle (Cycle | dict) – The cycle to benchmark or an argument to instantiate the cycle.

  • n_random_cycles (Iterable) – A list of positive integers specifying how many random cycles will be generated during the protocol, e.g. [6, 20].

  • n_circuits (int) – The number of circuits for each number of random cycles.

  • pauli_decays (Iterable) – A list of Pauli decay strings, e.g. ["ZIZIZ", "XYXYX"] that specify which elements of the diagonalized channel should be estimated. These should be chosen to anticommute with the Hamiltonian terms of a known noise source to be optimized.

  • twirling_group (Iterable) – The twirling group to use in this protocol. This can be one of "P" (Pauli), "C" (Clifford), "SU" (special unitary), or "I" (Identity). The twirling group will be the tensor product of the specified group on the keys of the cycle to be benchmarked. A mixture of groups on different labels can be specified by an iterable of groups and labels, for example, [["P", 0], ["C", 1, 2], ["C", 3]], where ["C", 1, 2] specifies the two-qubit Clifford group acting on the labels [1, 2] and ["C", 3] specifies the one-qubit Clifford group acting on the label 3. Any unspecified elements of labels will be set to "P". Warning: "I" is provided as a convenience method for expert users to identify coherent errors and/or crosstalk even though an exponential decay is not expected.

  • propagate_correction (bool) – Whether to propagate correction gates to the end of the circuit or compile them in to neighbouring cycles. Warning: can result in arbitrary two-qubit gates at the end of the circuit!

Returns

Note

We invert each random sequence up to an independent random Pauli matrix (accessible as shown in the example above) to diagnose errors to that are missed by always returning to the initial state (see arXiv:1901.00535).

Parameters

  • labels (Iterable) – A list of which sets of system labels are to be twirled together in each circuit, e.g. [3, [1, 2], 4].

  • n_random_cycles (Iterable) – A list of positive integers specifying how many random cycles will be generated during the protocol, e.g. [6, 20].

  • n_circuits (int) – The number of circuits for each number of random cycles.

  • twirling_group (Iterable) – The twirling group to use in this protocol. This can be either "C" (Clifford) or "SU" (special unitary). The twirling group will be the tensor product of the specified group on the labels to be benchmarked. A mixture of groups on different labels can be specified by an iterable of groups and labels such as [["SU", 0], ["C", 1, 2], ["C", 3]], where ["C", 1, 2] specifies the two-qubit Clifford group acting on the labels [1, 2] and ["C", 3] specifies the one-qubit Clifford group acting on the label 3. Any unspecified labels will be set to "C".

Note

If the circuit collection also contains SRB circuits with the same twirl group, then calling fit will also return an estimate e_U of how much the process fidelity of the twirling groups can be improved by correcting static calibration errors.

Parameters

  • labels (Iterable) – A list of which sets of system labels are to be twirled together in each circuit, e.g. [3, [1, 2], 4].

  • n_random_cycles (Iterable) – A list of positive integers specifying how many random cycles will be generated during the protocol, e.g. [6, 20].

  • n_circuits (int) – The number of circuits for each number of random cycles.

  • twirling_group (Iterable) – The twirling group to use in this protocol. This can be either "C" (Clifford) or "SU" (special unitary). The twirling group will be the tensor product of the specified group on the labels to be benchmarked. A mixture of groups on different labels can be specified by an iterable of groups and labels such as [["SU", 0], ["C", 1, 2], ["C", 3]], where ["C", 1, 2] specifies the two-qubit Clifford group acting on the labels [1, 2] and ["C", 3] specifies the one-qubit Clifford group acting on the label 3. Any unspecified labels will be set to "C".

Returns

QCAP (Quantum Capacity)

trueq.make_qcap(cycles, n_random_cycles, n_circuits=30, n_decays=20)

Generates a CircuitCollection to measure the quantum capacity (QCAP) bound of any circuit whose immutable cycles are contained in cycles. See also the QCAP guide.

The bound can be obtained by calling qcap_bound() on the QCAP circuits once they have been performed and their results have been populated. Note that this function outputs cycle benchmarking circuits, and fit() will report the individual infidelities of the given cycles.

import trueq as tq

# make a circuit to assess

Note

This function is a convenience wrapper of make_cb(). If, for example, different values of n_random_cycles are desired for each cycle, call make_cb() manually for each cycle placing all generated circuits in the same collection. However, it is important to set the twirling_group option to ((P, i) for i in labels) where labels are all the qubit labels involved in the circuit(s) of interest.

Parameters

  • cycles (Iterable | Circuit) – An iterable of Cycles (note that a Circuit is an iterable of cycles). Only the immutable cycles will be considered, and duplicate immutable cycles will be ignored.

  • n_random_cycles (Iterable) – A list of positive integers specifying how many random cycles will be generated during the protocol, e.g. [6, 20].

  • n_circuits (int) – The number of circuits for each random cycle.

  • n_decays (int) – An integer specifying the total number of randomly chosen pauli decay strings used to measure the process infidelity. Warning: Setting this value lower than min(20, 4 ** n_qubits - 1) may result in a biased estimate.

Returns

A collection of QCAP circuits.

Return type

CircuitCollection

trueq.qcap_bound(circuit, fit_or_circuits)

Computes the quantum capacity (QCAP) bound of the given circuit. This scalar quantity is a bound on the circuit performance when the circuit is executed using randomly_compile(). See also the QCAP guide.

Parameters

  • circuit (Circuit) – The circuit you wish to know the QCAP bound of. This will usually be the original circuit that was given to make_qcap(), but can be any circuit whose immutable cycles are a subset of the immutable cycles present in the CB circuits or fits of fit_or_circuits.

  • fit_or_circuits – A circuit collection output by make_qcap() populated with results, or an estimate collection that resulted from calling fit() on such a circuit collection. For efficiency, use the latter format if computing a bound on multiple circuits.

Returns

A bound on the circut performance.

Return type

NormalEstimate

Randomly Compile

trueq.randomly_compile(circuit, n_compilations=30, twirling_group=None, compile_paulis=False, compress=True)

Randomly compiles the given circuit into many new random circuits which implement the same algorithm. Random gates are inserted adjacent to gates in the provided circuit, chosen from the specified twirling group (the Pauli group is used by default). See also the RC guide.

Cycles in the input circuit that are immutable will not be chnaged, while other cycles may have random gates compiled into them.

import trueq as tq

#Define a circuit which applies an X gate on the 0th qubit, a controlled-Z
#gate on qubits 0 and 1, and another X gate on the 0th qubit.
cycle1 = tq.Cycle({0: tq.Gate.x})
cycle2 = tq.Cycle({(0, 1): tq.Gate.cz});
circuit = tq.Circuit((cycle1, cycle2, cycle1))

Note

Running randomly_compile() on a circuit several times is likely to return different compiled circuits due to the random nature of the algorithm. The circuit returned will always contain the same number of cycles as the input circuit, and will be logically equivalent, up to a global phase.

Warning

Running randomly_compile() on circuits containing gates acting on multiple systems with a non-Clifford gate will typically result in an error because twirling operations cannot be corrected locally.

Parameters

  • circuit (Circuit) – A circuit to randomly compile.

  • n_compilations (int) – The number of random compilations of the input circuit. Each instance will appear as a new circuit in the returned circuit collection.

  • twirling_group (Iterable) – The twirling group to use. This can be one of "P" (Pauli), "C" (Clifford), "SU" (special unitary), or "I" (Identity). The twirling group will be the tensor product of the specified group on the labels of the circuit to be randomly compiled. A mixture of groups on different labels can be specified by an iterable of groups and labels, for example, [["P", 0], ["C", 1, 2], ["C", 3]], where ["C", 1, 2] specifies the two-qubit Clifford group acting on the labels [1, 2] and ["C", 3] specifies the one-qubit Clifford group acting on the label 3. Any unspecified elements of labels will be set to "P".

  • compile_paulis (bool) – Whether or not to compile a random Pauli gate onto a qubit in the cycle preceding a measurement operation for each Meas operation encountered in the circuit. Which Paulis were compiled in are stored as a string in the key, where the order is first defined by cycle index, and then by sorted labels of each cycle. (default is False).

  • compress (bool) – Whether or not to compress the easy cycles (default is True).

Returns

A circuit collection containing randomly compiled versions of the circuit.
