Abstract
In-depth characterisation of quantum devices is crucial not just for the optimal
operation of high fidelity gates but more importantly, to identify true system
parameters for creating an accurate model of the QPU and its control stack. Such an
accurate digital twin of the system is critical for generating an error budget - a
quantitative breakdown of the contribution of different error generating factors to the
bottomline benchmarks of a QPU's performance. We use modern Machine Learning tools to
combine a differentiable physics accurate digital twin with data from a broad set of
characterisation experiments to build a model with a high predictive power that
accurately predicts the outcome of experiments even outside the training dataset. This
predictive model is then used to extrapolate the error contributions from different
system and environmental factors. We test these tools on superconducting QPUs and
discuss various demonstrative results.
