iqm.benchmarks.randomized_benchmarking.mirror_rb.mirror_rb.compute_polarizations(num_qubits: int, noisy_counts: List[Dict[str, int]], ideal_counts: List[Dict[str, int]], num_circ_samples: int, num_pauli_samples: int) → List[float]#

Estimates the polarization for a list of noisy counts with respect to corresponding ideal counts The polarization here is a rescaling of the average fidelity, that corrects for few-qubit effects

Parameters:

  • num_qubits (int) – the number of qubits being benchmarked

  • noisy_counts (List[Dict[str, int]]) – the list of counts coming from real execution

  • ideal_counts (List[Dict[str, int]]) – the list of counts coming from simulated, ideal execution

  • num_circ_samples (int) – the number circuit of samples used to estimate the polarization

  • num_pauli_samples (int) – the number of pauli samples per circuit sample used to estimate the polarization

Returns:

the polarizations for each circuit sample of the given sequence length

Return type:

List[float]
