Developing robust protocols for calibration of a 25-qubit annealing device
ORAL
Abstract
Superconducting qubits require varied and novel tools for calibration. As qubits mature in design and fabrication we should also mature the software utilized for calibration. Sophisticated calibration protocols could enable faster, more accurate, and more robust tune-up of a superconducting qubit processor. We will provide details on our calibration routines for bringing online a 25-qubit quantum annealing testbed comprising XX single-qubit controls and YY coupler controls, all of which must be characterized individually and as a crosstalk matrix. We hope to provide context on what mature calibration software can look like and evidence of the benefits it can provide.
