Acquire data necessary for direct fidelity estimate (DFE).

Parameters:

• qc – A quantum computer object where the experiment will run.
• expt – An ObservablesExperiment object describing the experiments to be run.
• num_shots – The number of shots to be taken in each experiment. If mitigate_readout_errors is set to True then this same number of shots will be used for each round of symmetrized data collection and each calibration of an observable.
• active_reset – Boolean flag indicating whether experiments should begin with an active reset instruction (this can make the collection of experiments run a lot faster).
• mitigate_readout_errors – Boolean flag indicating whether bias due to imperfect readout should be corrected
• show_progress_bar – displays a progress bar via tqdm if true.

Returns:

results from running the given DFE experiment. These can be passed to estimate_dfe
