1Reliability
If control algorithms are executed on quantum processors with high hardware variability, then quantum information can be stabilized against decoherence, but the complexity of determining and executing these control algorithms increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The control algorithm is segmented into three distinct modules: a characterization module that measures noise properties, a filter function generation module that processes characterization data, and an optimization module that generates control sequences. This segmentation allows each module to be independently optimized and executed, reducing the overall computational complexity while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary characterization of noise properties and generation of filter functions before executing the main control algorithm. By pre-processing noise characterization and generating optimized filter functions in advance, the system reduces the computational burden during actual quantum operations, making the control algorithm more manageable despite hardware variability.
2Reliability
If complex control protocols are applied to stabilize quantum information, then decoherence effects are reduced, but the susceptibility to noise from imperfect control signals increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses filter functions derived from noise characterization to create feedback mechanisms that adjust control sequences. The characterization module continuously monitors noise properties, and this information feeds into the optimization module to generate control sequences that compensate for both environmental decoherence and control-induced noise, effectively managing both harmful factors simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The optimization module adjusts control sequence parameters based on filter functions that are themselves derived from measured noise characteristics. By dynamically changing control parameters according to actual noise conditions rather than using fixed protocols, the system reduces control-induced noise while maintaining decoherence protection.
3Adaptability or versatility
If quantum processors operate in complex environments with time-varying noise, then practical quantum computing can be enabled, but the performance of quantum logic operations diminishes due to noise-induced decoherence
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs dynamic control sequences that are continuously adapted based on real-time noise characterization. Rather than using static control protocols, the optimization module generates time-varying control sequences that respond to changing environmental conditions, enabling the quantum processor to maintain high operation fidelity despite operating in complex, time-varying noise environments.

AI summary
This disclosure relates to evaluating and improving performance of a control implementation on a quantum processor comprising multiple qubits in the presence of noise. A noise model decomposes noise interactions described by a multi-qubit noise Hamiltonian into multiple contributory noise channels. Each channel generates noise dynamics described by a unique noise-axis operator. For a given control implementation, a unique filter function represents susceptibility of the multi-qubit system to the associated noise dynamics. The filter functions are based on a frequency transformation of the noise axis operator of the corresponding noise channel to thereby evaluate the performance of the control implementation. An optimised control sequence is based on the filter function to reduce the susceptibility of the multi-qubit system to the noise channels, thereby reducing the effective interaction with the multi-qubit noise Hamiltonian. The optimised control sequence controls the quantum processor to thereby improve the performance of the control implementation.
