Abstract: (APS)
In this Letter we propose a fully scalable randomized benchmarking protocol for quantum information processors. We prove that the protocol provides an efficient and reliable estimate of the average error-rate for a set operations (gates) under a very general noise model that allows for both time and gate-dependent errors. In particular we obtain a sequence of fitting models for the observable fidelity decay as a function of a (convergent) perturbative expansion of the gate errors about the mean error. We illustrate the protocol through numerical examples.
