Benchmarking quantum computers with Qiskit Ignis — •James Wootton — IBM Research - Zurich

There are many ways that imperfections can arise in a quantum computation. It is important to assess what these do to our qubits, how they affect our ability to run programs with the devices, and how to mitigate their effects. Many different methods have been developed to do this, from the randomized benchmarking that focuses on single gates to the quantum volume that characterizes entire devices. This talk will introduce some of these methods, and show how they can be used in practice.
