• Abstract summary: Current quantum computers have inherent noise that results in errors in the outputs of quantum software executing on the quantum computers. This paper proposes a practical machine learning approach, called Q-LEAR, to mitigate noise errors in quantum software outputs. Results show that, compared to the baseline, Q-LEAR achieved a 25% average improvement in error mitigation on both real quantum computers and simulators.

• Abstract: Quantum computers have the potential to outperform classical computers for some complex computational problems. However, current quantum computers (e.g., from IBM and Google) have inherent noise that results in errors in the outputs of quantum software executing on the quantum computers, affecting the reliability of quantum software development. The industry is increasingly interested in machine learning (ML)--based error mitigation techniques, given their scalability and practicality. However, existing ML-based techniques have limitations, such as only targeting specific noise types or specific quantum circuits. This paper proposes a practical ML-based approach, called Q-LEAR, with a novel feature set, to mitigate noise errors in quantum software outputs. We evaluated Q-LEAR on eight quantum computers and their corresponding noisy simulators, all from IBM, and compared Q-LEAR with a state-of-the-art ML-based approach taken as baseline. Results show that, compared to the baseline, Q-LEAR achieved a 25% average improvement in error mitigation on both real quantum computers and simulators. We also discuss the implications and practicality of Q-LEAR, which, we believe, is valuable for practitioners.

  We study how quantum noise affects QELM in three industrial and real-world classical software testing case studies. Our results show that QELMs are significantly affected by quantum noise, with a performance drop of 250% in regression tasks and 50% in classification tasks. While error mitigation techniques can enhance noise resilience, achieving an average 3.0% performance drop in classification, but their effectiveness varies by context.
