Trapped-Ion Qubit is a ion trap qubit approach for quantum computing hardware. Source: latex text.
Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate local robust shadows on a trapped-ion device, a protocol developed to counteract measurement errors. We alternate between a calibration stage and the shadow estimation stage and also introduce Pauli-X-twirling before measurements in both stages to symmetrize error rates. We then demonstrate the protocol on a trapped-ion quantum computer with artificially shortened measurement pulse duration. This yields faster experiments at the cost of increased error rates which are subsequently mitigated by the robust shadow protocol. We benchmark this approach on three exemplary quantum states: a local Haar random state, as well as standard and Pauli-correlation encoded QAOA states. In all three cases, the local robust shadow protocol succeeds at mitigating the increased error rates hailing from shorter measurement pulse durations.
