UQ-VarQA: Benchmarking and Characterizing NISQ Computers Through Uncertainty Quantification of Variational Quantum Algorithms

Priyabrata Senapati, Shengye Zhu, Bo Peng +2 more

Quantum computing offers speedups, but NISQ processors face hardware-induced errors that degrade fidelity and reproducibility. We introduce an uncertainty-aware benchmarking framework that combines uncertainty quantification with global sensitivity analysis to evaluate not only peak fidelity but also its reliability over time. Using Bayesian Optimization with SGLD refinement under fixed budgets, seeds, bounds, and trust-region rules, and repeating runs across days, we capture calibration drift and quantify efficiency, stability, landscape complexity, and maintenance cost. A noise-aware Gaussian process surrogate provides scalable sensitivity estimates without error mitigation. Applied to VQAMET and VQC on three IBMQ backends, the framework delivers actionable guidance for co-tuning and backend selection, complementing and often outperforming quantum volume style metrics.

Sensitivity of polaron-molecule observables to MDR/GUP-like ultraviolet deformations at low energies via quantum computing

Ezequiel Valero, Hugo Catala, Victor Ilisie +1 more

We show that impurity many-body observables can display enhanced sensitivity to ultraviolet deformations of generalized-uncertainty-principle and modified-dispersion-relation type at accessible energy scales. Using a deformed polaron-molecule Hamiltonian constructed to preserve the infrared sector, we quantify the impact of such deformations on spectral and Ramsey observables and implement the corresponding dynamics in a controlled quantum computing setting. We identify regimes near the polaron-molecule crossover where small ultraviolet deformations are strongly amplified, leading to experimentally resolvable changes in quasiparticle properties and spectral response. Our results establish a concrete sensitivity-based route to low-energy quantum-gravity phenomenology in a well-defined many-body platform and delimit the validity of the effective description. Furthermore, we report experimental validation on the QRed superconducting quantum processor (BSC-CNS).

Nonclassicality and Coherent Error Detection via Pseudo-Entropy

Assaf Katz, Shalom Bloch, Eliahu Cohen

Pseudo-entropy is a complex-valued generalization of entanglement entropy defined on non-Hermitian transition operators and induced by post-selection. We present a simulation-based protocol for detecting nonclassicality and coherent errors in quantum circuits using this pseudo-entropy measure Sˇ, focusing on its imaginary part ℑSˇ as a diagnostic tool. Our method enables resource-efficient classification of phase-coherent errors, such as those from miscalibrated CNOT gates, even under realistic noise conditions. By quantifying the transition between classical-like and quantum-like behavior through threshold analysis, we provide theoretical benchmarks for error classification that can inform hardware calibration strategies. Numerical simulations demonstrate that 55% of the parameter space remains classified as classical-like (below classification thresholds) at hardware-calibrated sensitivity levels, with statistical significance confirmed through rigorous sensitivity analysis. Robustness to noise and comparison with standard entropy-based methods are demonstrated in a simulation. While hardware validation remains necessary, this work bridges theoretical concepts of nonclassicality with practical quantum error classification frameworks, providing a foundation for experimental quantum computing applications.
