• Abstract summary: We propose a general framework for quantum error mitigation that combines and generalizes two techniques: probabilistic error cancellation (PEC) and zero-noise extrapolation (ZNE) PEC represents ideal operations as linear combinations of noisy operations that are implementable on hardware. ZNE is used to better approximate the zero-noise limit.

• Abstract: We propose a general framework for quantum error mitigation that combines and generalizes two techniques: probabilistic error cancellation (PEC) and zero-noise extrapolation (ZNE). Similarly to PEC, the proposed method represents ideal operations as linear combinations of noisy operations that are implementable on hardware. However, instead of assuming a fixed level of hardware noise, we extend the set of implementable operations by noise scaling. By construction, this method encompasses both PEC and ZNE as particular cases and allows us to investigate a larger set of hybrid techniques. For example, gate extrapolation can be used to implement PEC without requiring knowledge of the device's noise model, e.g., avoiding gate set tomography. Alternatively, probabilistic error reduction can be used to estimate expectation values at intermediate virtual noise strengths (below the hardware level), obtaining partially mitigated results at a lower sampling cost. Moreover, multiple results obtained with different noise reduction factors can be further post-processed with ZNE to better approximate the zero-noise limit.

  We introduce the tensor-network error mitigation (TEM) algorithm, which acts in post-processing to correct the noise-induced errors in estimations of physical observables. TEM does not require additional quantum operations other than the implementation of informationally complete POVMs. We test TEM extensively in numerical simulations in different regimes.

  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.

  We present a novel controller synthesis method that does not rely on any explicit representation of the noise distributions. First, we abstract the continuous control system into a finite-state model that captures noise by probabilistic transitions between discrete states. We use state-of-the-art verification techniques to provide guarantees on the interval Markov decision process and compute a controller for which these guarantees carry over to the original control system.

  This paper aims to devise a generalized maximum likelihood (ML) estimator to robustly detect signals with unknown noise statistics.

Our framework is driven by an unsupervised learning approach, where only the noise samples are required.
