Title: Universal Quantum Error Mitigation via Adaptive Phase-Space Shaping (UQAPS)

Jincheng Zhang

Quantum computing holds immense promise for breakthroughs across diverse fields, but the inherent fragility of quantum systems necessitates robust error mitigation techniques. Current methods often struggle to effectively address all error types, limiting their applicability. This paper introduces the Universal Quantum Error Mitigation (UQAS) framework, a novel approach utilizing adaptive phase-space shaping to dynamically minimize the impact of errors across a broad spectrum. We propose a neural network-based algorithm that learns the optimal phase-space geometry to enhance the resilience of quantum circuits. This framework offers a comprehensive strategy, overcoming the limitations of existing methods and opening new avenues for improved quantum performance. The proposed UQAPS provides a practical and scalable solution for quantum error mitigation, contributing significantly to the advancement of this transformative technology.

Demonstrating quantum error mitigation on logical qubits

Aosai Zhang, Haipeng Xie, Yu Gao +32 more

A long-standing challenge in quantum computing is developing technologies to overcome the inevitable noise in qubits. To enable meaningful applications in the early stages of fault-tolerant quantum computing, devising methods to suppress post-correction logical failures is becoming increasingly crucial. In this work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate the application of zero-noise extrapolation, a practical quantum error mitigation technique, to error correction circuits on superconducting processors. By amplifying the noise on physical qubits, the circuits yield outcomes that exhibit a predictable dependence on noise strength, following a polynomial function determined by the code distance. This property enables the effective application of polynomial extrapolation to mitigate logical errors. Our experiments demonstrate a universal reduction in logical errors across various quantum circuits, including fault-tolerant circuits of repetition and surface codes. We observe a favorable performance in multi-round error correction circuits, indicating that this method remains effective when the circuit depth increases. These results advance the frontier of quantum error suppression technologies, opening a practical way to achieve reliable quantum computing in the early fault-tolerant era. Quantum error mitigation refers to techniques that reduce, rather than correct, errors in quantum computing. Here the authors demonstrate zero-noise extrapolation applied to quantum error correction circuits on superconducting processors, effectively reducing logical errors and advancing early fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Estimating the Effect of Crosstalk Error on Circuit Fidelity Using Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum Devices

Sovanmonynuth Heng, Myeongseong Go, Youngsun Han

Current advancements in technology have focused the attention of the quantum computing community toward exploring the potential of near-term devices whose computing power surpasses that of classical computers in practical applications. An unresolved central question revolves around whether the inherent noise in these devices can be overcome or whether any potential quantum advantage would be limited. There is no doubt that crosstalk is one of the main sources of noise in noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) systems, and it poses a fundamental challenge to hardware designs. Crosstalk between parallel instructions can corrupt quantum states and cause incorrect program execution. In this study, we present a necessary analysis of the crosstalk error effect on NISQ devices. Our approach is extremely straightforward and practical to estimate the crosstalk error of various multi-qubit devices. In particular, we combine the randomized benchmarking (RB) and simultaneous randomized benchmarking (SRB) protocol to estimate the crosstalk error from the correlation controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate. We demonstrate this protocol experimentally on 5-, 7-, \& 16-qubit devices. Our results demonstrate the crosstalk error model of three different IBM quantum devices over the experimental week and compare the error variation against the machine, number of qubits, quantum volume, processor, and topology. We then confirm the improvement in the circuit fidelity on different benchmarks by up to 3.06x via inserting an instruction barrier, as compared with an IBM quantum noisy device which offers near-optimal crosstalk mitigation in practice. Finally, we discuss the current system limitation, its tradeoff on fidelity and depth, noise beyond the NISQ system, and mitigation opportunities to ensure that the quantum operation can perform its quantum magic undisturbed.
