Pulse Gap Match Three-Row Scan - Quantum Hardware Readout: Signals and Calibration Step by Step

A control pulse scan needs both matching rows and the between-gaps off row. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

Pulse scans must show both nearby gaps

The neighbor gap is 4 and the target gap is 6. A middle pulse is not treated as a partial transition.

\Delta E_n=4,\quad \Delta E_t=6

Three pulse rows separate neighbor, off, and target

The table scans one pulse value at a time. The response column is derived from exact equality to a displayed gap.

\begin{array}{c|c|c|c}\Delta E_n&p&\Delta E_t&\text{response}\\4&4&6&\text{neighbor}\\4&5&6&\text{off}\\4&6&6&\text{target}\\\end{array}

The target row matches only the target gap

When the pulse is 6, it equals the target gap and does not equal the neighbor gap.

6=6,\quad 6\neq4

This is a discrete control target, not a lineshape

The scan claims exact match and mismatch rows only. It does not claim linewidth, pulse shape, crosstalk, or Rabi dynamics.

p=\Delta E\Rightarrow\text{match},\quad p\neq\Delta E\Rightarrow\text{off}
