Retrieve detailed performance data for a specific characterization of a backend. This includes comprehensive fidelity metrics, gate error rates, and timing information that can help you understand the quantum hardware’s performance at a particular point in time. Learn more about interpreting characterization data.

Path Parameters

Successfully retrieved current characterization

Quantum hardware characterization data.

backend
string

The backend calibrated hardware: simulator, qpu.aria-1, qpu.aria-2, qpu.forte-1, qpu.forte-enterprise-1, qpu.forte-enterprise-2, qpu.forte-enterprise-3

connectivity
integer[][]

An array of valid, unordered tuples of possible qubits for executing two-qubit gates (e.g., [[0, 1], [0, 2], [1, 2]])

Example:
date
string

Date time of the measurement, in ISO format.

Example:

"2025-06-16T00:00:00Z"

fidelity
object

Fidelity for single-qubit (1q) and two-qubit (2q) gates, and State Preparation and Measurement (spam) operations. Currently provides only median fidelity; additional statistical data will be added in the future.

id
string<uuid>

UUID of the characterization.

qubits
integer

The number of qubits available.

Required range: x >= 1
Example:

25

timing
object

Time, in seconds, of various system properties: t1 time, t2 time, 1q gate time, 2q gate time, readout time, and qubit reset time.
