Best Practices for Quantum Error Mitigation with Digital Zero-Noise Extrapolation

Ritajit Majumdar, Pedro Rivero, Friederike Metz +2 more

Digital zero-noise extrapolation (dZNE) has emerged as a common approach for quantum error mitigation (QEM) due to its conceptual simplicity, accessibility, and resource efficiency. In practice, however, properly applying dZNE to extend the computational reach of noisy quantum processors is rife with subtleties. Here, based on literature review and original experiments on noisy simulators and real quantum hardware, we define best practices for QEM with dZNE for each step of the workflow, including noise amplification, execution on the quantum device, extrapolation to the zero-noise limit, and composition with other QEM methods. We anticipate that this effort to establish best practices for dZNE will be extended to other QEM methods, leading to more reproducible and rigorous calculations on noisy quantum hardware. The full version of this paper can be found in Ref. [1].

Noisy probabilistic error cancellation and generalized physical implementability

Tian‐Ren Jin, Yu-Ran Zhang, Kai‐Da Xu +1 more

Quantum decoherent noises hinder the performance of quantum processors, challenging effective error mitigation. The authors extend physical implementability to arbitrary convex sets of quantum states and operations, achieving noiseless error cancellation with noisy Pauli bases and linking this approach to key quantum metrics, enhancing practical error mitigation in quantum computing.

Extending the computational reach of a superconducting qutrit processor

Noah Goss, Samuele Ferracin, Akel Hashim +5 more

Abstract Quantum computing with qudits is an emerging approach that exploits a larger, more connected computational space, providing advantages for many applications, including quantum simulation and quantum error correction. Nonetheless, qudits are typically afflicted by more complex errors and suffer greater noise sensitivity which renders their scaling difficult. In this work, we introduce techniques to tailor arbitrary qudit Markovian noise to stochastic Weyl–Heisenberg channels and mitigate noise that commutes with our Clifford and universal two-qudit gate in generic qudit circuits. We experimentally demonstrate these methods on a superconducting transmon qutrit processor, and benchmark their effectiveness for multipartite qutrit entanglement and random circuit sampling, obtaining up to 3× improvement in our results. To the best of our knowledge, this constitutes the first-ever error mitigation experiment performed on qutrits. Our work shows that despite the intrinsic complexity of manipulating higher-dimensional quantum systems, noise tailoring and error mitigation can significantly extend the computational reach of today’s qudit processors.
