Description

In the current landscape of quantum computation, estimating necessary shot totals for desired accuracy is a preeminent question. Here, we introduce the usage of cumulative probability distributions: sums of total probability up to a capped value, working through the entire probability spectrum. These cumulative distributions of Rydberg atom arrays are approximated well by Fermi distributions, permitting the collapse of the cumulative distributions across increasing system sizes given their fitting. Using these, we are also able to determine how overall features of the probability distribution scale with system size, providing insight to predict large scale behavior from limited sample data in smaller systems. We will also discuss the applicability of these analysis methods to operators and highlight the potential for extension to other quantum models.
