* A fixed sequence length is selected | * A fixed sequence length is selected at random. A random sequence of this length is chosen from the Clifford group. | ||
* The operations are applied to the initial state corresponding to the selected sequence and then a final operator is applied which inverts all the previous operations. | * The operations are applied to the initial state corresponding to the selected sequence and then a final operator is applied which inverts all the previous operations. | ||
* The final state is then measured to check if it matches the initial state. This process is performed several times with the same sequence to estimate the survival probability (the probability that the final state which returns to its initial state). | * The final state is then measured to check if it matches the initial state.

* Other random sequences of the same fixed sequence length are picked and the above-mentioned process is repeated to calculate the corresponding survival probability. This is used to calculate the average survival probability for the sequence length. | * Other random sequences of the same fixed sequence length are picked and the above-mentioned process is repeated to calculate the corresponding survival probability.

* The observed survival probabilities are then plotted against the sequence length and then this is fit to an exponential decay curve, which is used to estimate the fidelity and also to calculate the average error rate which is the metric for randomized benchmarking. | * The observed survival probabilities are then plotted against the sequence length and then this is fit to an exponential decay curve, which is used to estimate the fidelity and also to calculate the average error rate which is the metric for randomized benchmarking. | ||
