DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will give an introduction to random
 ized benchmarking\, a standard experimental techni
 que in quantum computing. I will review the reason
 s for its existence and the functioning of its sta
 ndard 'Clifford group' version from a representati
 on theoretical angle. Using this representation th
 eory perspective one can see that randomized bench
 marking can be generalized to arbitrary finite gro
 ups. I will show how to do this in a principled ma
 nner and discuss some issues that appear. Finally\
 , if there is time\, I will try to give a hint of 
 how the powerful machinery of harmonic analysis ca
 n be applied to guarantee the correct functioning 
 of randomized benchmarking under very broad experi
 mental conditions.
