Quantum Error Mitigation with Attention Graph Transformers for Burgers Equation Solvers on NISQ Hardware

Seyed Mohamad Ali Tousi, Adib Bazgir, Yuwen Zhang +1 more

We present a hybrid quantum-classical framework augmented with learned error mitigation for solving the viscous Burgers equation on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware. Using the Cole-Hopf transformation, the nonlinear Burgers equation is mapped to a diffusion equation, discretized on uniform grids, and encoded into a quantum state whose time evolution is approximated via Trotterized nearest-neighbor circuits implemented in Qiskit. Quantum simulations are executed on noisy Aer backends and IBM superconducting quantum devices and are benchmarked against high-accuracy classical solutions obtained using a Krylov-based solver applied to the corresponding discretized Hamiltonian. From measured quantum amplitudes, we reconstruct the velocity field and evaluate physical and numerical diagnostics, including the L2 error, shock location, and dissipation rate, both with and without zero-noise extrapolation (ZNE). To enable data-driven error mitigation, we construct a large parametric dataset by sweeping viscosity, time step, grid resolution, and boundary conditions, producing matched tuples of noisy, ZNE-corrected, hardware, and classical solutions together with detailed circuit metadata. Leveraging this dataset, we train an attention-based graph neural network that incorporates circuit structure, light-cone information, global circuit parameters, and noisy quantum outputs to predict error-mitigated solutions. Across a wide range of parameters, the learned model consistently reduces the discrepancy between quantum and classical solutions beyond what is achieved by ZNE alone. We discuss extensions of this approach to higher-dimensional Burgers systems and more general quantum partial differential equation solvers, highlighting learned error mitigation as a promising complement to physics-based noise reduction techniques on NISQ devices.

Physics-Guided Linear Mapper for Quantum Error Mitigation

Tulsi Chaudhari, Krishna Bhatia, Shalini Devendrababu +2 more

We introduce a novel physics-guided linear mapper (PGLM) for quantum error mitigation that uses seven distinct interpretable features derived from circuit complexity and device calibration data. The goal is to provide a data-efficient, interpretable, and low-latency alternative to the black-box machine learning for quantum error mitigation in noisy-intermediate scale quantum devices. Evaluated on 52 simulated benchmark circuits (1--4 qubits), PGLM demonstrates strong performance in noise-accumulation regimes: 50.1% RMSE reduction on 3-qubit circuits and 32.3% on 4-qubit circuits, while single-qubit circuits show degraded performance. A circuit-size-aware deployment policy achieves 32.6% aggregate improvement. Sub-millisecond inference enables integration into variational algorithms, and analysis of learned coefficients reveals that circuit depth and CNOT count dominate error prediction, consistent with decoherence mechanisms. Results are simulator-based with idealized noise models; hardware validation remains essential future work.

QEMScore: How Much Does the Measurement Add to Learned Quantum Error Mitigation?

Yue Zhao, Huayue Gu, Yushun Dong +1 more

How much does the noisy measurement add to learned quantum error mitigation? An accuracy table cannot say, because a model handed circuit structure can score well without reading the measurement at all. QEMScore adds the comparison that can. Each simulated circuit carries an exact ideal answer. The learned mitigator is scored beside a capacity-matched control, a model just as flexible that reads the same circuit description but never the measurement. Each method's measurement spend is accounted and not equalized. We run a controlled campaign on simulated circuits and reanalyze two published learned mitigators, Q-LEAR and QRAFT, from their released hardware data. Three findings stand out. First, under familiar within-family conditions (S0) evaluated across two spin-chain families and three seeds, continuous couplings identify the target, and the control that never reads the measurement matches 87.7 to 100.5 percent of the mitigator's gain over an affine fit to the circuit description. A plain polynomial in the coupling parameters, fitted after the campaign, beats the mitigator on all six evaluations, reflecting the selected learners' capacity. Second, for these selected learners, matching most of the gain is not matching the accuracy: on five of six evaluations the mitigator removes 19.5 to 74.5 percent of the error the capacity-matched control leaves, a learner-specific gap rather than a measurement requirement. Third, on released hardware data where descriptors only partially identify queries, the findings differ: flexible models of the descriptors show negligible mean gain over affine fits in Q-LEAR, and measurement inputs carry predictive gains in both Q-LEAR and QRAFT. These comparisons reflect representation- and protocol-specific behavior rather than an isolated cross-regime difference. A learned mitigator's accuracy should therefore be reported beside such controls.
