Quantum Computing Asked on June 9, 2021
On the IBM Quantum Composer website, there are characteristics of qubit computers. For example, ibmq_16_melbourne.
But there is no description anywhere of what:
T1(us)
,
T2(us)
,
Frequency (GHz)
,
Readout assignment error
,
Prob meas0 prep1
,
Prob meas1 prep0
,
Readout length (ns)
,
ID error
,
√x (sx) error
,
Single-qubit Pauli-X error
,
CNOT error
,
Gate time (ns)
means.
Could you write down what they mean?
And why isn’t there, for example, a Pauli-Z error
, even though there is a Pauli-X error
?
A quick and dirty list:
And why isn't there, for example, a Pauli-Z error, even though there is a Pauli-X error?
The reason there is no error shown for the Pauli Z is because there is (virtually) none. This is because the IBM machines don't really implement $Z$ rotations - they keep track of the $Z$ rotations through software, and update the $X$ (and $Y$) gates accordingly. Effectively, they rotate the $X$ and $Y$ axes of the Bloch sphere along the $Z$ axis - the 'Pauli X' gate is thus actually any rotation along an axis in the $X-Y$ plane of the Bloch sphere. By changing the phase of the induced wave on the resonator, one can pick the angle the axis makes with a predetermined reference point, and thus implement both $X$ and $Y$ gates.
