• Abstract: Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is a cornerstone of fault-tolerant, large-scale quantum computing. However, qubit error drift significantly degrades QEC performance over time, necessitating periodic calibration. Traditional calibration methods disrupt quantum states, requiring system downtime and making in situ calibration infeasible. We present CaliScalpel, an innovative framework for in situ calibration in surface codes. The core idea behind CaliScalpel is leveraging code deformation to isolate qubits undergoing calibration from logical patches. This allows calibration to proceed concurrently with computation, while code enlargement maintains error correction capabilities with minimal qubit overhead. Additionally, CaliScalpel incorporates optimized calibration schedules derived from detailed device characterization, effectively minimizing physical error rates. Our results show that CaliScalpel achieves concurrent calibration and computation with modest qubit overhead and negligible execution time impact, marking a significant step toward practical in situ calibration in surface-code-based quantum computing systems.

  Modern deep neural networks (DNNs) often suffer from overconfidence, leading to miscalibration. We propose a novel post-hoc calibration method called feature clipping (FC) to address this issue. FC involves clipping feature values to a specified threshold, effectively increasing entropy in high calibration error samples.

We provide intuitive mechanisms to tailor calibration metrics to a decision task, and enforce accurate loss estimation and no regret decisions.

  Post-hoc calibration is a technique to recalibrate a model, and its goal is to learn a calibration map. Existing approaches mostly focus on constructing calibration maps with low calibration errors. We study post-hoc calibration for multi-class classification under constraints, as a calibrator with a low calibration error does not necessarily mean it is useful in practice.

We show that standard ensembling methods, when used in conjunction with modern techniques such as mixup regularization, can lead to less calibrated models.
