From 434ce463900d3da2d88cd2633dffc59449cfe399 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Shanks Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2023 15:32:23 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Remove reset from beginning of tomography experiments (#1250) ### Summary This change removes the reset instruction from the beginning of tomography experiments. ### Details and comments Some backends do not implement reset but can be treated as having reset the qubits between circuits. It is also possible some backends implement reset but have a slower, higher fidelity reset between circuits than the in-circuit reset.
