The primary methods for assessing quantum circuit fidelity include direct fidelity estimation and mirror circuit fidelity estimation. The former is challenging to implement in practice, while the latter requires substantial classical computational resources and numerous experimental runs. In this paper, we propose a fidelity estimation method based on Layer Interleaved Randomized Benchmarking, which decomposes a complex quantum circuit into multiple sublayers. By independently evaluating the fidelity of each layer, one can comprehensively assess the performance of the entire quantum circuit. This layered evaluation strategy not only enhances accuracy but also effectively identifies and analyzes errors in specific quantum gates or qubits through independent layer evaluation. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method improves circuit fidelity by an average of 6.8% and 4.1% compared to Layer Randomized Benchmarking and Interleaved Randomized Benchmarking methods in a thermal relaxation noise environment, and by 40% compared to Layer RB in a bit-flip noise environment. Moreover, the method detects preset faulty quantum gates in circuits generated by the Munich Quantum Toolkit Benchmark, verifying the model’s validity and providing a new tool for faulty gate detection in quantum circuits.展开更多
