In the Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) era, the dynamic nature of quantum systems causes noise sources to constantly vary over time. Transient errors from the dynamic NISQ noise landscape are challenging to comprehend and are especially detrimental to classes of applications that are iterative and/or long-running, and therefore their timely mitigation is important for quantum advantage in real-world applications. The most popular examples of iterative long-running quantum applications…

Better Than Worst-Case Decoding for Quantum Error Correction

Better Than Worst-Case Decoding for Quantum Error Correction is proposed, targeting cryogenic quantum systems and Surface Code, and achieves 70-99+% off-chip bandwidth elimination across a range of logical and physical error rates, without significantly sacrificing the accuracy of a state-of-the-art off- chip decoder.

VAQEM: A Variational Approach to Quantum Error Mitigation

VAQEM is proposed, which dynamically tailors existing error mitigation techniques to the actual, dynamic noisy execution characteristics of VQAs on a target quantum machine, and gains substantial improvements to VQA objective measurements.

Classical Optimizers for Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum Devices

We present a collection of optimizers tuned for usage on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. Optimizers have a range of applications in quantum computing, including the Variational…

Unified approach to data-driven quantum error mitigation

A novel, scalable error mitigation method that conceptually unifies ZNE and CDR, called variable-noise Clifford data regression (vnCDR), significantly outperforms these individual methods in numerical benchmarks.

Noise-Adaptive Compiler Mappings for Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum Computers

It is shown that fine grained spatial and temporal variations in hardware parameters can be exploited to obtain an average 2.9x (and up to 18x) improvement in program success rate over the industry standard IBM Qiskit compiler.

The theory of variational hybrid quantum-classical algorithms

The concept of quantum variational error suppression that allows some errors to be suppressed naturally in this algorithm on a pre-threshold quantum device is introduced and the use of modern derivative free optimization techniques can offer dramatic computational savings of up to three orders of magnitude over previously used optimization techniques.

Quantum optimization using variational algorithms on near-term quantum devices

The quantum volume as a metric to compare the power of near-term quantum devices is discussed and simple error-mitigation schemes are introduced that could improve the accuracy of determining ground-state energies.

Efficient Variational Quantum Simulator Incorporating Active Error Minimization

This work proposes a variational method involving closely integrated classical and quantum coprocessors and finds that it is efficient and appears to be fundamentally more robust against error accumulation than a more conventional optimised Trotterisation technique.

Error Mitigation for Short-Depth Quantum Circuits.

Two schemes are presented that mitigate the effect of errors and decoherence in short-depth quantum circuits by resampling randomized circuits according to a quasiprobability distribution.

Mitiq is an extensible toolkit of different error mitigation methods, including zero-noise extrapolation, probabilistic error cancellation, and Clifford data regression, designed to be compatible with generic backends and interfaces with different quantum software frameworks.

Robust dynamical decoupling

It is shown that pulse imperfections, which are always present in experimental implementations, limit the performance of dynamical decoupling and can be largely eliminated by a judicious design of pulses and sequences.
