The observed probabilities (“Obs”) are tabulated alongside two simple error propagation models given the gate number N and the individual gate and readout errors of the two systems encapsulated in the parameters ϵg and ϵM, respectively (main text). The first stimate assumes random (“Rand”) error propagation with overall error (1ϵg)N whereas the second one is based on systematic (“Sys”) coherent over- or underrotations with overall error (1 − ϵg)N, where N is the number of gates. The readout error for M qubits is (1 − ϵM)M in both cases.
