• Abstract: Theoretical quantum memory design often involves selectively focusing on certain energy levels to mimic an ideal $\Lambda$-configuration, a common approach that may unintentionally overlook the impact of neighboring levels or undesired couplings. While this simplification may be justified in certain protocols or platforms, it can significantly distort the achievable memory performance. Through numerical semi-classical analysis, we show that the presence of unwanted energy levels and undesired couplings in an NV-center-based absorptive memory can significantly amplify the signal, resulting in memory efficiencies exceeding unity, a clear indication of unwanted noise at the quantum level. This effect occurs even when the apparent noise i.e., output in the absence of an input field, is negligible. We then use semi-analytical estimates to analyze the amplification and propose a strategy for reducing it. Our results are potentially relevant for other memory platforms beyond the example of NV centers.

  In the era of quantum computing without full fault-tolerance, it is essential to suppress noise effects via the quantum error mitigation techniques to enhance the computational power of the quantum devices. One of the most effective noise-agnostic error mitigation schemes is the generalized quantum subspace expansion (GSE) method. We propose the fault-subspace method, which constructs an error-mitigated quantum state with copies of quantum states with different noise levels.
