US Patent 10360088 Randomized compiling for quantum computation

In a general aspect, randomized compiling techniques for quantum computing are described. In some aspects, an initial quantum-logic gate sequence is received. A modified quantum-logic gate sequence is generated by applying virtual random gates to the initial quantum-logic gate sequence, such that the initial quantum-logic gate sequence is logically equivalent to the modified quantum-logic gate sequence. The modified quantum-logic gate sequence can be provided to a quantum information processor for execution.
