Title: Bayesian Variational Quantum Error Mitigation with Adaptive Kernel Selection (BVQ-AKS)
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
Quantum computation promises unprecedented computational power, but inherent quantum errors pose a significant barrier to widespread adoption. Variational Quantum Error Mitigation (VQEM) is a crucial technique for reducing these errors, but its effectiveness is heavily dependent on the specific error profile of the quantum circuit. Traditional VQEM methods often rely on a fixed kernel, failing to adequately address the diverse error characteristics across different quantum systems. This paper proposes a novel Bayesian Variational Quantum Error Mitigation (BVQ-AKS) strategy that dynamically adapts the kernel selection process based on the circuit's error profile. The algorithm learns an optimal kernel for each circuit type, enhancing mitigation effectiveness across a broader range of errors. This approach offers a tailored and adaptive method to address the challenges of VQEM, paving the way for more robust and reliable quantum computations.
