• Abstract: Noise is the greatest obstacle in quantum metrology that limits it achievable precision and sensitivity. There are many techniques to mitigate the effect of noise, but this can never be done completely. One commonly proposed technique is to repeatedly apply quantum error correction. Unfortunately, the required repetition frequency needed to recover the Heisenberg limit is unachievable with the existing quantum technologies. In this article we explore the discrete application of quantum error correction with current technological limitations in mind. We establish that quantum error correction can be beneficial and highlight the factors which need to be improved so one can reliably reach the Heisenberg limit level precision.

  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

• Finite-round quantum error correction on symmetric quantum sensors [8.339831319589134]
  Heisenberg limit provides a quadratic improvement over the standard quantum limit. It remains elusive because of the inevitable presence of noise decohering quantum sensors. We side-step this no-go result by using an optimal finite number of rounds of quantum error correction.

• Mitigating Quantum Errors via Truncated Neumann Series [10.04862322536857]
  We propose a unified framework that can mitigate quantum gate and measurement errors in computing quantum expectation values. The essential idea is to cancel the effect of quantum error by approximating its inverse via linearly combining quantum errors of different orders. We test this framework for different quantum errors and find that the computation accuracy is substantially improved.

• Mitigating errors by quantum verification and post-selection [0.0]
  We present a technique for quantum error mitigation based on quantum verification, the so-called accreditation protocol, together with post-selection. We discuss the sample complexity of our procedure and provide rigorous guarantees of errors being mitigated under some realistic assumptions on the noise. Our technique also allows for time dependant behaviours, as we allow for the output states to be different between different runs of the accreditation protocol.

We develop a novel and distinctly efficient method to address the most important errors associated with the decay of atomic qubits to states outside of the computational subspace. Our protocols can be implemented in the near-term using state-of-the-art neutral atom platforms with qubits encoded in both alkali and alkaline-earth atoms.

• Fault-tolerant Coding for Quantum Communication [71.206200318454]

For every quantum channel $T$ and every $eps>0$ there exists a threshold $p(epsilon,T)$ for the gate error probability below which rates larger than $C-epsilon$ are fault-tolerantly achievable. Our results are relevant in communication over large distances, and also on-chip, where distant parts of a quantum computer might need to communicate under higher levels of noise.
