| Summary:
Randomized compiling (RC) is an efficient method for tailoring arbitrary
Markovian errors into stochastic Pauli channels. However, the standard
procedure for implementing the protocol in software comes with a large
experimental overhead — namely, it scales linearly in the number of desired
randomizations, each of which must be generated and measured independently. In
this work, we introduce a hardware-efficient algorithm for performing RC on a
cycle-by-cycle basis on the lowest level of our FPGA-based control hardware
during the execution of a circuit. Importantly, this algorithm performs a
different randomization per shot with zero runtime overhead beyond measuring a
circuit without RC. We implement our algorithm using the QubiC control
hardware, where we demonstrate significant reduction in the overall runtime of
circuits implemented with RC, as well as a significantly lower variance in
measured observables.
