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.
