* In practice, from a finite number of projective measurements performed per random unitary (<math>N_M</math>), a statistical error of the estimated fidelity arises. With that, a finite number (<math>N_U</math>) of random unitaries used to infer overlap and purities can also cause a statistical error while estimating fidelity.

* In principle, the cross-platform fidelity can be determined from full quantum state tomography of the two quantum devices. However due to the exponential scaling with the (sub)system size, this approach is limited to only a few degrees of freedom, In contrast, as demonstrated below, the present protocol scales, although exponentially, much more favorably with the (sub)system size, allowing practical cross-platform verification for (sub)systems involving tens of qubits on state-of-the-art quantum devices. | * In principle, the cross-platform fidelity can be determined from full quantum state tomography of the two quantum devices.
