Growth in the capabilities of quantum information hardware mandates access to techniques
for performance verification that function under realistic laboratory conditions. Here we
experimentally characterise the impact of common temporally correlated noise processes on
both randomised benchmarking (RB) and gate-set tomography (GST). Our analysis
highlights the role of sequence structure in enhancing or suppressing the sensitivity of
quantum verification protocols to either slowly or rapidly varying noise, which we treat in the …
