✨ Support for running randomized benchmarking #511
Description
What's the problem this feature will solve?
Randomized benchmarking (RB) is a popular protocol for characterizing the error rate of quantum processors. An RB experiment consists of the generation of random Clifford circuits on the given qubits such that the unitary computed by the circuits is the identity. After running the circuits, the number of shots resulting in an error (i.e. an output different from the ground state) are counted, and from this data one can infer error estimates for the quantum device, by calculating the Error Per Clifford.
This sounds like something worthwhile to support as part of MQT Bench.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice, if MQT Bench could be used to orchestrate RB experiments.
We still need to flesh out the details of how such an integration could look like, but I think it should be doable with moderate effort.
