Experimental Pauli-frame randomization on a superconducting qubit

Coherent errors can interfere, and in this manner, conspire to be much more damaging than stochastic errors of similar infidelity. One technique to deal with such errors is {\it Pauli-frame randomization}\footnote{E. Knill, Nature {\bf 434}, 7029 (2005).} \footnote{J. Wallman and J. Emerson arXiv:1512.01098 [quant-ph] (2015).}, which works by randomizing computational gates so that the effective errors becomes incoherent, and therefore, less damaging. In this talk we describe the practical implementation of Pauli-frame randomization on a transmon qubit (including its automation), as well as how to rigorously test Pauli-frame randomization through the use of gate set tomography. This effort is supported in part by the U.S. Army Research Office under contract W911NF-14-C-0048.
