r"""A holistic benchmarking experiment to characterize the full quality of the devices at scale.
# section: overview
Layer Fidelity (LF) is a method to estimate the fidelity of
a connecting set of two-qubit gates over :math:`N` qubits by measuring gate errors
using simultaneous direct randomized benchmarking (RB) in disjoint layers.
LF can easily be expressed as a layer size independent quantity, error per layered gate (EPLG):
:math:`EPLG = 1 - LF^{1/N_{2Q}}` where :math:`N_{2Q}` is number of 2-qubit gates in the layers.
Each of the 2-qubit (or 1-qubit) direct RBs yields the decaying probabilities
to get back to the ground state for an increasing sequence length (i.e. number of layers),
fits the exponential curve to estimate the decay rate, and calculates
the process fidelity of the subsystem from the rate.
LF is calculated as the product of the 2-qubit (or 1-qubit) process fidelities.
See Ref. [1] for details.

backend: The backend to run the experiment on. Note that either ``backend`` or
``two_qubit_gate`` and ``one_qubit_basis_gates`` must be set at instantiation.
num_samples: Number of samples (i.e. circuits) to generate for each layer length.
seed: Optional, seed used to initialize ``numpy.random.default_rng``.
when generating circuits. The ``default_rng`` will be initialized
with this seed value every time :meth:~.LayerFidelity.circuits` is called.
two_qubit_gate: Optional, 2q-gate name (e.g. "cx", "cz", "ecr")
of which the two qubit layers consist.
If not specified (but ``backend`` is supplied),
one of 2q-gates supported in the backend is automatically set.
one_qubit_basis_gates: Optional, 1q-gates to use for implementing 1q-Clifford operations.
If not specified (but ``backend`` is supplied),
all 1q-gates supported in the backend are automatically set.
layer_barrier (bool): Optional, enforce a barrier across the whole layer.
Default is True, which is the defined protocol for layer fidelity.
If this is set to false the code runs
simultaneous direct 1+2Q RB without a barrier across all qubits.
min_delay: Optional. Define a minimum delay in each 2Q layer in units of dt. This
delay operation will be applied in any 1Q edge of the layer during the 2Q gate layer
in order to enforce a minimum duration of the 2Q layer. This enables some crosstalk
testing by removing a gate from the layer without changing the layer duration. If not
None then is a list equal in length to the number of two_qubit_layers. Note that
this options requires at least one 1Q edge (a qubit in physical_qubits but
not in two_qubit_layers) to be applied. Also will not have an impact on the 2Q gates
