Simulation and Benchmarking of Real Quantum Hardware

This document is a technical report that presents a noise model evaluated on superconducting quantum hardware, specifically focusing on the IQM 20-qubit chip. The report outlines the significance of understanding noise in quantum computing, particularly in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era. It details the development of a noise model that can describe real hardware accurately and discusses its adaptation for various quantum architectures, including trapped-ion and neutral atom devices. The authors benchmark the model by simulating a 20-qubit superconducting quantum computer and compare the results with actual hardware outcomes. The document also describes the methodology used to validate the noise model, including the measurement of noise parameters and the implementation of the model using the Eviden Qaptiva software framework. The findings indicate that the simulation results align well with the real hardware measurements, demonstrating the model's effectiveness in predicting quantum algorithm performance on actual devices.
