• Abstract summary: We present a method to mitigate the depolarizing noise by first estimating its rate with a noise-estimation circuit. We find that our approach in combination with readout-error correction, compiling, randomized, and zero-noise extrapolation produces results close to exact results even for circuits containing hundreds of CNOT gates.

• Abstract: A significant problem for current quantum computers is noise. While there are many distinct noise channels, the depolarizing noise model often appropriately describes average noise for large circuits involving many qubits and gates. We present a method to mitigate the depolarizing noise by first estimating its rate with a noise-estimation circuit and then correcting the output of the target circuit using the estimated rate. The method is experimentally validated on the simulation of the Heisenberg model. We find that our approach in combination with readout-error correction, randomized compiling, and zero-noise extrapolation produces results close to exact results even for circuits containing hundreds of CNOT gates.

  Crosstalk noise is a severe error source in, e.g., cross-resonance based superconducting quantum processors.

We evaluate the proposed method by characterizing crosstalk noise for two chips with up to 127 qubits.

  We exploit the idea of erasure qubits, relying on an efficient conversion of the dominant noise into erasures at known locations.

Our results demonstrate that, despite being slightly more complex, QEC schemes based on erasure qubits can significantly outperform standard approaches.

We find that, for realistic noise strength typical for fixed-frequency superconducting qubits, correlated noise beyond two-qubit correlation can significantly affect the code simulation accuracy.

  In variational quantum algorithms the parameters of a parameterized quantum circuit are optimized in order to minimize a cost function that encodes the solution of the problem. We discuss how, and in which sense, the phenomenon of noise-induced barren plateaus emerges in parameterized quantum circuits with a layered noise model.

  A range of quantum error mitigation techniques has been proposed to address noise in quantum computers. ZNE involves increasing the noise levels in a circuit and then using extrapolation to infer the zero noise case from the noisy results. This paper presents a novel ZNE approach that does not require circuit folding or noise scaling to mitigate depolarizing and/or decoherence noise.
