Intro to Quantum Noise (QGSS 2023)

Zlatko K. Minev

  1. Intro to Quantum Noise (main lecture)2023 · Qiskit Global Summer School · 128 ppWhy a simple qubit-flipping circuit fails on real hardware, and what coherent, incoherent and measurement noise do to it.
  2. Cheat Sheet: Pictorial Digital Quantum Circuits, T11.7 (bonus)2023 · Qiskit Global Summer School · 2 ppTwo-page cheat sheet of quantum circuit symbols and the circuit identities used most often when manipulating Paulis and controlled gates.
  3. Coherent ZZ Error (bonus)2023 · Qiskit Global Summer School · 1 ppA one-page bonus note on coherent ZZ errors (an always-on qubit-qubit coupling) from an introduction to quantum noise.
  4. Estimating Observables from Bitstrings, T21 (bonus)2023 · Qiskit Global Summer School · 2 ppTech note on how shot noise in sampled bitstrings propagates into estimates of Pauli-Z observables, via the Walsh-Hadamard transform.
