title: IBM Quantum dynamic circuit phase diagnostics: MCM induced spectator phase shifts and virtual Z mitigation (datasets + reproducible analysis)

description: QC + CT data & reproducibility bundle (DATA-ONLY)

This Zenodo record provides raw IBM Quantum QPU shot-count data, experiment metadata, and reproducible analysis scripts for complex-plane diagnostics of phase rotations induced by mid-circuit measurement (MCM) in dynamic circuits, together with minimal code to reproduce the key tables/figures used in two companion research directions:





QC engineering: a minimal two-qubit Ramsey diagnostic and low-overhead mitigation of deterministic (coherent) phase shifts via virtual-Z (frame) compensation.




CT i‑phase: a foundations-oriented analysis that interprets the same measurable complex-plane rotations as an operational manifestation of an internal complex-time (CT) phase coordinate (“i-phase”).





Important scope note (to avoid DOI/version confusion):This record is intentionally DATA-ONLY (data + code).Timestamped manuscript drafts (preprints) are deposited as separate Zenodo records and should be linked via Related identifiers.


Experimental protocol (summary)

Experiments implement a minimal two-qubit Ramsey-type interferometer on a superconducting quantum processor. A fixed target/spectator layout is used (see per-file metadata). During the Ramsey idle window, we insert M spectator events at scheduled points and compare two matched conditions:





MEAS: perform M mid-circuit measurements on the spectator qubit.




DELAY: insert matched delays (same timing) without measurement.



The target qubit is measured in X and Y bases to reconstruct the complex equatorial signalz = ⟨σx⟩ + i⟨σy⟩ = r · exp(iθ).From paired MEAS/DELAY runs we form the complex ratiow(M) = z_MEAS(M) / z_DELAY(M),so that arg(w) isolates the coherent phase shift and log|w| quantifies amplitude shrinkage.

For mitigation workflows, MEAS circuits optionally include a virtual-Z correction on the target:Rz(comp × M), where comp is scanned/calibrated (rad per measurement).
