Coherent errors in quantum hardware severely limit the performance of quantum algorithms in an unpredictable manner, and mitigating their impact is necessary for realizing reliable, large-scale quantum computations. Randomized compiling achieves this goal by converting coherent errors into stochastic noise, dramatically reducing unpredictable errors in quantum algorithms and enabling accurate predictions of aggregate performance via cycle benchmarking estimates. In this work, we demonstrate significant performance gains under randomized compiling for both the four-qubit quantum Fourier transform algorithm and for random circuits of variable depth on a superconducting quantum processor. We also validate solution accuracy using experimentally-measured error rates. Our results demonstrate that randomized compiling can be utilized to maximally-leverage and predict the capabilities of modern-day noisy quantum processors, paving the way forward for scalable quantum computing.
