Protocols

These tutorials cover the QCVV and benchmarking protocols in pyGSTi and how to run them on data. For a high-level tour of every protocol and how to invoke it, start with the protocols overview.

• Gate set tomography (GST) — pyGSTi’s flagship protocol for full, self-consistent characterization of a gate set.

• Randomized benchmarking (RB) — Clifford, Direct, Mirror, and Binary RB for scalable error-rate estimation.

• Robust phase estimation (RPE) — precise estimation of gate rotation angles.

• Drift characterization — detecting time-dependent (non-Markovian) drift across data passes.

• Volumetric benchmarks — summarizing capability over circuit shape (width × depth).

• Parity benchmarking — parity-based benchmarking of multi-qubit circuits.
