Abstract
A quantum instruction set is where quantum hardware and software meet. We develop characterization and compilation techniques for non-Clifford gates to accurately evaluate its designs. Applying these techniques to our fluxonium processor, we show that replacing the iSWAP gate by its square root SQiSW leads to a significant performance boost at almost no cost. More precisely, on SQiSW we measure a gate fidelity of up to 99.72% and averaging at 99.31%, and realize Haar random two-qubit gates with an average fidelity of 96.38%. This is an average error reduction of 41% for the former and a 50% reduction for the latter compared to using iSWAP on the same processor.
