Abstract Quantum computing has recently emerged as a novel paradigm for solving problems otherwise intractable on classical computers, yet the practical progress of quantum computers is severely impacted by noise, decoherence, and imperfect gate operations in Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. Specific to IBM Quantum hardware, imperfections due to readout error, gate errors, and device drift, which depends on time, resolves limits for the accuracy of outputs from our algorithms. The mitigation strategies currently used, for example, Measurement Error Mitigation (MEM), Zero Noise Extrapolation (ZNE), and Clifford Data Regression (CDR), offer improvement over raw, unmitigated outputs, but they are static and not dynamic; the reduction of noise in within an NISQ device is temporal and can vary in patterns that are non-zero. In addition to this, using the conventional methods provides inconsistent and suboptimal results.This study will provide enhanced reliability with respect to performing quantum computation on IBM Quantum hardware with a unique mitigation framework that is adaptive and computationally efficient for a high-fidelity output. The problem taken on here is the failure of existing error mitigation strategies to provide adaptive noise compensation, as they assume a statically-distributed error, despite the performance-related characteristics already being documented in regards to calibration drift and variation over time.To achieve this, we propose a Hybrid Adaptive Error Mitigation (HAEM) approach that includes baseline measurement error mitigation and an additional correction layer that utilizes realtime calibration information, along with lightweight machine learning models. The approach can be broken down into three steps: (i) perform standard measurement error mitigation to reduce classical readout noise, (ii) execute compact calibration circuits, such as Bell states, GHZ states and Clifford benchmarks to capture then current error profile of the device, and (iii) use a lightweight machine learning model (having been trained on historical and newest calibration data) to dynamically change the mitigation weights applied for the target quantum algorithm. All implementation is done using Qiskit Runtime to ensure low-latency execution, and we completed experiments on both Qiskit Aer noisy simulators and IBM Quantum devices.Initial results suggest HAEM improved the outputs of quantum algorithms' fidelity compared to the unmitigated runs and the baseline measurement error mitigation (MEM) runs. On the noisy simulators, HAEM increased fidelity from a raw performance of 0.65 to 0.87, nearly a 34% improvement. In fairer hardware-like scenarios, fidelity-on-average was persistently 12% better than MEM, with nearly equal time duration for the additional adaptive measurements. The adaptive aspect of HAEM consistently supported subsequent calibration cycles of the device and was effective to continue providing fidelity improvements despite the static mitigation performance degrading.To sum up, the proposed HAEM framework is a modern and viable alternative for error mitigation which brings together the benefits of baseline approaches with corrections that are driven by fixed-function error-corrective, adaptive learning. As both learning-based and standard baseline approaches can only achieve fixed levels of performance, HAEM, through its use of noise mitigation both at execution time and through correlating it with standard data, provides a route towards reliable quantum computations on current IBM hardware. HAEM also presents a contribution to the NISQ error-resilient landscape, and however it is intended that it will continue to improve future applications of hybrid workflows of quantum and classical computation where error mitigation and resilience is important.
If noisy-intermediate-scale-quantum-era quantum computers are to perform useful tasks, they will need to employ powerful error mitigation techniques.Quasiprobability methods can permit perfect error compensation at the cost of additional circuit executions, provided that the nature of the error model is fully understood and sufficiently local both spatially and temporally.Unfortunately, these conditions are challenging to satisfy.Here we present a method by which the proper compensation strategy can instead be learned ab initio.Our training process uses multiple variants of the primary circuit where all non-Clifford gates are substituted with gates that are efficient to simulate classically.The process yields a configuration that is near optimal versus noise in the real system with its non-Clifford gate set.Having presented a range of learning strategies, we demonstrate the power of the technique both with real quantum hardware (IBM devices) and exactly emulated imperfect quantum computers.The systems suffer a range of noise severities and types, including spatially and temporally correlated variants.In all cases the protocol successfully adapts to the noise and mitigates it to a high degree.
Quantum computing is emerging as a transformative paradigm for molecular-level modeling in process engineering, offering the potential to perform large-scale, high-accuracy simulations that surpass the computational limits of classical methods. However, the inherent noise and decoherence in quantum systems present major obstacles to reliable molecular interaction predictions. This research conducts a qualitative investigation of error-mitigation strategies designed to improve the accuracy and stability of quantum simulations for modeling molecular interactions relevant to chemical and process engineering. By reviewing scientific literature and analyzing case studies across quantum mechanics, computational chemistry, and industrial process modeling, the study identifies the principal challenges associated with quantum noise, gate fidelity, and algorithmic scalability. A conceptual framework was developed to evaluate how quantum error correction (QEC) techniques, zero-noise extrapolation, and hybrid quantum–classical algorithms enhance predictive precision in molecular simulations. The findings suggest that combining these methods not only mitigates computational noise but also improves convergence efficiency in modeling reaction pathways and intermolecular potentials. This research synthesizes interdisciplinary insights to propose a roadmap for integrating quantum-enhanced molecular simulations into sustainable process engineering. It underscores how advances in error mitigation will be essential for achieving trustworthy, energy-efficient, and scalable industrial applications of quantum computation in the coming decade.
Quantum computing is entering a transitional regime between noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) processing and early fault-tolerant quantum computation (FTQC), in which increasingly capable hardware is beginning to support repeated syndrome measurements, partial error correction, and logical-qubit operations, while residual physical and logical errors remain non-negligible. In this regime, error suppression, error mitigation, and quantum error correction are increasingly better viewed as complementary layers of a unified error-reduction strategy rather than as separate approaches, with each acting at a different stage of the quantum computation to improve simulation reliability. Thus, in this review, we provide a practical and forward-looking overview of the principal hardware error sources and the corresponding error suppression and mitigation methods for reducing their impact across the current NISQ-FTQC transition. We discuss hardware-aware circuit design, coherent-error suppression, readout mitigation, noise extrapolation, classical inference, and software-supported workflows, with particular emphasis on their implementation on actual quantum processors. We further examine how error mitigation techniques can be adapted to encoded and logical-qubit settings so that they can operate alongside quantum error correction to suppress residual logical errors and improve the accuracy of computation in the early fault-tolerant regime.
Quantum error mitigation (QEM) is a crucial step in developing practical quantum algorithms, allowing for the correction of errors introduced during computation. However, the inherent complexity of quantum systems and the need for computationally intensive error correction mechanisms have historically limited the widespread adoption of QEM. This paper proposes a novel hybrid quantum-classical approach to QEM, integrating classical computation for error correction with dynamically adjusting quantum computations to minimize the impact of noise. We demonstrate the efficacy of this strategy through a series of simulations and analysis, showcasing a significant reduction in error rates compared to traditional methods. The core mechanism involves a feedback loop that prioritizes error correction based on real-time error metrics, utilizing classical computation to optimize the quantum circuit's execution. This approach addresses the limitations of existing methods by offering a more efficient and scalable solution for QEM, paving the way for broader quantum computing applications.
This paper investigates error mitigation techniques specifically tailored for non-spin noise quantum computing environments. The core argument centers on leveraging quantum entanglement and multi-particle correlations to effectively suppress quantum bit (qubit) errors. The proposed mechanism involves designing specific quantum states and operations to amplify correlations between qubits, utilizing entangled states for information redundancy, and ultimately, reducing error rates. Unlike traditional approaches focused on spin noise, this research introduces novel strategies applicable to non-spin systems, representing a significant advancement in the field. The presented methods explore the potential to enhance the fidelity of quantum computations within environments where errors are primarily governed by non-spin sources, offering a pathway towards more robust and reliable quantum computation. We examine theoretical frameworks and potential implementations, focusing on the mathematical underpinnings of error suppression and demonstrating the principles through conceptual models.
