    Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for estimating quantum processor performance. In one aspect, a method includes defining a benchmarking circuit configured to operate on an array of qubits, wherein the benchmarking circuit comprises one or more cycles of quantum gates, each cycle comprising a respective layer of randomly sampled single-qubit gates and a layer of multiple instances of a same multi-qubit gate; partitioning the defined benchmarking circuit into two or more sub-circuits, comprising: defining one or more boundaries between qubits in the array of qubits, removing instances of the multi-qubit gate that cross the defined one or more boundaries to create the two or more sub-circuits; performing a benchmarking process using the partitioned benchmarking circuit to estimate a respective circuit fidelity of each of the sub-circuits; and multiplying the estimated circuit fidelities of each of the sub-circuits to obtain an estimate of the fidelity of the quantum processor.
