Description

I would like to be able to get the delay pragma to work with pyQuil with noise models. For example if I have a T1 noise model and I have increasingly long delays I'd like to append noise models that depend on the delays such that I can use the QVM to correctly simulate the behavior.

To be explicit, it would be nice to be able to run the T1 or T2 experiments in forest-benchmarking on the QVM, see e.g. https://github.com/rigetti/forest-benchmarking/blob/master/examples/qubit_spectroscopy_t1.ipynb .

Research direction

Start by reading the delay pragma behavior in pyQuil and the referenced forest-benchmarking example, examples/qubit_spectroscopy_t1.ipynb. Determine how T1 and T2 experiments should attach delay-dependent noise models when run on the QVM. Done means those experiments can simulate increasingly long delays with the intended noise effects.
