Fidelity estimator, randomized benchmarking and ZNE for quantum pulses

Published in arXiv preprint arXiv:2305.12597, 2023

This paper proposes using reversed pulses to evaluate the performance of quantum pulses, enabling fidelity estimation without knowledge of the ideal results, and demonstrates the implementation of zero noise extrapolation (ZNE) on pulse programs for variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) tasks.
