page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_echo for a visual illustration
of this experiment.
CPMG, or the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill sequence, involves using a sqrt(Y)
followed by a sequence of pi pulses (X gates) in a specific timing pattern:
π/2, t, π, 2t, π, ... 2t, π, t
The first pulse, a sqrt(Y) gate, will put the qubit's state on the Bloch
equator. After a delay, successive X gates will refocus dehomogenous
phase effects by causing them to precess in opposite directions and
averaging their effects across the entire pulse train.
This pulse pattern has two variables that can be adjusted. The first,
denoted as 't' in the above sequence, is delay, which can be specified
with `delay_min` and `delay_max` or by using a `delay_sweep`, similar to
the other experiments. The second variable is the number of pi pulses
(X gates). This can be specified as a list of integers using the
`num_pulses` parameter. If multiple different pulses are specified,
the data will be presented in a data frame with two
indices (delay_ns and num_pulses).
See the following reference for more information about CPMG pulse trains:
Meiboom, S., and D. Gill, “Modified spin-echo method for measuring nuclear
relaxation times”, Rev. Sci. Inst., 29, 688–691 (1958).
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1716296
Note that interpreting T2 data is fairly tricky and subtle, as it can
include other effects that need to be accounted for. For instance,
amplitude damping (T1) will present as T2 noise and needs to be
appropriately compensated for to find a true measure of T2. Due to this
subtlety and lack of standard way to interpret the data, the fitting
of the data to an exponential curve and the extrapolation of an actual
T2 time value is left as an exercise to the reader.

sampler: The quantum engine or simulator to run the circuits.
qubit: The qubit under test.
experiment_type: The type of T2 test to run.
