• Abstract: The main challenge of quantum computing on its way to scalability is the erroneous behaviour of current devices. Understanding and predicting their impact on computations is essential to counteract these errors with methods such as quantum error mitigation. Thus, it is necessary to construct and evaluate accurate noise models. However, the evaluation of noise models does not yet follow a systematic approach, making it nearly impossible to estimate the accuracy of a model for a given application. Therefore, we developed and present a systematic approach to benchmark noise models for quantum computing applications. It compares the results of hardware experiments to predictions of noise models for a representative set of quantum circuits. We also construct a noise model and optimize its parameters with a series of training circuits. We then perform a volumetric benchmark comparing our model to other models from the literature.

  We propose general noise model Bayesian inference methods that integrate the surface code's tensor network simulator. For stationary noise, where the noise parameters are constant and do not change, we propose a method based on the Markov chain Monte Carlo. For time-varying noise, which is a more realistic situation, we introduce another method based on the sequential Monte Carlo.

  Overcoming the influence of noise and imperfections is a major challenge in quantum computing. We present an approach based on applying a desired unitary computation in superposition between the system of interest and some auxiliary states. We demonstrate, numerically and on the IBM Quantum Platform, that parallel applications of the same operation lead to significant noise mitigation.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
