Quantum Accreditation with Non-Clifford Two-qubit Gates

Quantum Physics 2026-05-20 v1

Abstract

We develop a family of quantum accreditation protocols for quantum circuits with non-Clifford two-qubit gates. The latter includes families of gates such as the fSim and XY families of gates, native to existing hardwares. We provide practical and scalable protocols that upper-bound the total variation distance between the probability distributions of error-free and erroneous quantum computations. We also establish the robustness of our protocols to small perturbations and generalize Pauli twirling to non-Pauli single-qubit bases, which may be of independent interest.
