We explore the usefulness of a number of simple quantum circuits as benchmarks for gate-based quantum computing devices and show that circuits performing identity operations are very simple, scalable and sensitive to gate errors and are therefore very well suited for this task. We illustrate the procedure by presenting benchmark results for the IBM Quantum Experience, a cloud-based platform for gate-based quantum computing.}, cin = {JSC}, ddc = {004}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406}, pnm = {511 - Computational Science and Mathematical Methods (POF3-511)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-511}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000412252300004}, doi = {10.1016/j.cpc.2017.06.011}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/834820}, }
