A new class of protocols called mirror benchmarking was recently proposed to measure the system-level performance of quantum computers. These protocols involve circuits with random sequences of gates followed by mirroring, that is, inverting each gate in the sequence. We give a simple proof that mirror benchmarking leads to an exponential decay of the survival probability with sequence length, under the uniform noise assumption, provided the twirling group forms a 2-design. The decay rate is determined by a quantity that is a quadratic function of the error channel, and for certain types of errors is equal to the unitarity. This result yields a new method for estimating the coherence of noise. We present data from mirror benchmarking experiments run on the Honeywell System Model H1. This data constitutes a set of performance curves, indicating the success probability for random circuits as a function of qubit number and circuit depth.

Sampling hard circuits with verifiably high fidelity
A 97-qubit experiment certifies a 0.284 fidelity lower bound for a 468-T-gate sampling circuit by combining spacetime-code error detection with the measured fidelity of an undoped Clifford reference.
