Qedma's Characterization Software
Fast and detailed characterization of multi-qubit systems is essential for reducing errors in quantum computers. Optimizing multi-qubit systems requires swift and accurate measurements of the performance of each operation, with an in-depth breakdown to various error sources.
Moreover, gate calibration requires ultra-fast protocols for characterization of coherent errors, in the presence of crosstalk and unwanted interactions between qubits. Commonly used solutions are either limited to coarse-grained error measures, require exponentially large resources, or suffer from systematic errors.
Qedma’s protocols efficiently characterize errors associated with the gates and operations in a multi-qubit device. Our protocols output errors affecting the active qubits and their neighborhood,
for each gate in the system or for full computational layers, with an unprecedented speed-to-accuracy tradeoff. These errors are presented and analyzed in an interactive dashboard. With real-time classical post processing, they can be directly used for optimizing the performance of the quantum device.
