• Abstract: Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) algorithms require novel paradigms of error mitigation. To obtain noise-robust quantum computers, each logical qubit is equipped with hundreds or thousands of physical qubits. However, it is not possible to use memory-consuming techniques for current quantum devices having at most hundreds or at best thousands of physical qubits on their own. For specific problems, valid quantum states have a unique structure as in the case of Fock states and W-states where the Hamming weight is fixed, and the evolution takes place in a smaller subspace of the full Hilbert space. With this pre-knowledge, some errors can be detected in the course of the evolution of the circuit, by filtering the states not obeying the pattern through post-selection. In this paper, we present mid-circuit post-selection schemes for frequently used encodings such as one-hot, binary, gray, and domain-wall encoding. For the particular subspace of one-hot states, we propose a method that works by compressing the full Hilbert space to a smaller subspace, allowing projecting to the desired subspace without using any ancilla qubits. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach for the Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz algorithm. Our method is particularly suitable for the currently available hardware, where measuring and resetting is possible, but classical control conditional operators are not.

  We present a model of universal quantum computation that has many advantages over strategies that require a large overhead. We separate collective noise from individual noises on physical qubits and use a decoherence-free subspace. We are able to either use a steady global magnetic field or to devise a set of DD pulses that remove much of the remaining noise.

  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.

• Stochastic emulation of quantum algorithms [0.0]
  We introduce higher-order partial derivatives of a probability distribution of particle positions as a new object that shares basic properties of quantum mechanical states needed for a quantum algorithm. We prove that the propagation via the map built from those universal maps reproduces up to a prefactor exactly the evolution of the quantum mechanical state. We implement several well-known quantum algorithms, analyse the scaling of the needed number of realizations with the number of qubits, and highlight the role of destructive interference for the cost of emulation.
