We describe a simple method for certifying that an experimental device prepares a desired quantum state rho. Our method is applicable to any pure state rho, and it provides an estimate of the fidelity between rho and the actual (arbitrary) state in the lab, up to a constant additive error. The method requires measuring only a constant number of Pauli expectation values, selected at random according to an importance-weighting rule. Our method is faster than full tomography by a factor of d, the dimension of the state space, and extends easily and naturally to quantum channels.

Demonstration of logical qubits and repeated error correction with better-than-physical error rates
Logical error rates in [[7,1,3]] and [[12,2,4]] codes are suppressed 9.8-800 times below physical rates on trapped-ion hardware, with repeated correction cycles approaching the error rate of two physical CNOTs.
