Average increase in expected fidelity from optimization: the average increase in expected fidelity (color bar) is plotted against the simulated noise level \(\lambda \) (horizontal axis) and the uncertainty in the initial state \(\theta _\mathrm{max}\) (vertical axis). \(\theta _\mathrm{max} = 0\) corresponds to perfect knowledge of the initial state \(|0\rangle \) and therefore recovery of Fig. 4; \(\theta _\mathrm{max} = \pi \) corresponds to no knowledge of the initial state and therefore no fidelity improvement. Each of the 50x50 data points was generated from 100 randomly sampled target operations and initial states.
