\subsection{Source Code for the Benchmarks}
\label{ref:code_benchmarks}

The benchmarks used in \ref{ref:performance} are done using this code. Note
that the execution time is measured which is inherently noisy. To account for
the noise several strategies are used:

\begin{enumerate}[1]
    \item{The same circuit is applied to the starting state several times. The
        minimal result is used as the noise must be positive}
    \item{Several circuits are applied to the starting state. The remaining
        noise is mixed with the variance due to the different circuits.}
    \item{Because the noise can be timely correlated (i.e. another process
        requires processor time for a longer period) the tests have been
        randomized such that the time correlated noise is distributed randomly over
        several uncorrelated measurements.}
\end{enumerate}

The code used to benchmark the three regimes is analogous and not included here.

\subsection{Complete Graphical States from the Three Regimes}
\label{ref:complete_graphs}

Because the whole graphs are barely percetible windows have been used
in Figure \ref{fig:graph_high_linear_regime} and Figure \ref{fig:graph_intermediate_regime}.
For the sake of completeness the whole graphs are included here in Figure \ref{fig:graph_low_linear_regime_full},
Figure \ref{fig:graph_intermediate_regime_full} and Figure \ref{fig:graph_high_linear_regime_full}.

\subsection{Code to Generate the Example Graphs}
\label{ref:code_example_graphs}

This code has been used to generate the example graphs used in
\ref{ref:performance}. Note that generating the graph is done using a random
circuit as used in \ref{ref:code_benchmarks}. The generated \lstinline{dot}
code is converted to an image using 
\lstinline{dot i_regime.dot -Tpng -o i_regime.png}.
