• Abstract: Randomized measurements are increasingly appreciated as powerful tools to estimate properties of quantum systems, e.g., in the characterization of hybrid classical-quantum computation. On many platforms they constitute natively accessible measurements, serving as the building block of prominent schemes like shadow estimation. In the real world, however, the implementation of the random gates at the core of these schemes is susceptible to various sources of noise and imperfections, strongly limiting the applicability of protocols. To attenuate the impact of this shortcoming, in this work we introduce an error-mitigated method of randomized measurements, giving rise to a robust shadow estimation procedure. On the practical side, we show that error mitigation and shadow estimation can be carried out using the same session of quantum experiments, hence ensuring that we can address and mitigate the noise affecting the randomization measurements. Mathematically, we develop a picture derived from Fourier-transforms to connect randomized benchmarking and shadow estimation. We prove rigorous performance guarantees and show the functioning using comprehensive numerics. More conceptually, we demonstrate that, if properly used, easily accessible data from randomized benchmarking schemes already provide such valuable diagnostic information to inform about the noise dynamics and to assist in quantum learning procedures.

  We introduce SMASH: a Score MAtching estimator for learning markedPs with uncertainty quantification. Specifically, our framework adopts a normalization-free objective by estimating the pseudolikelihood of markedPs through score-matching. The superior performance of our proposed framework is demonstrated through extensive experiments in both event prediction and uncertainty quantification.

  We study the robustness of probabilistic error cancellation and tensor network error mitigation when the noise is imperfectly characterized. For one-dimensional circuits, error mitigation fails at an $mathcalO(1)$ time for any imperfection in the characterization of disorder. We discuss further implications for tests of quantum computational advantage, fault-tolerant probes of measurement-induced phase transitions, and quantum algorithms in near-term devices.

  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.

We show that the simulation cost can be reduced while achieving the same accuracy, by considering the individual simulation cost during the sampling stage. Results are confirmed by numerical simulations performed on a lattice nuclear effective field theory.
