We achieve it by mapping the Bloch sphere $\\pi/2$-rotation axis angle on the nonplanar so-called Viviani curve. During the implementation of the rotation by single qubit gates on IBM devices, we found the majority of qubits passing the test, although some specific qubits failed by more than ten standard deviations. The nature of those deviations has no simple explanation, as the test is robust against common non-idealities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-04-10T07:13:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "minimal number", "qubit space", "public ibm quantum computer", "precise certification test", "determinant dimension witness" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
