• Abstract: Error mitigation is essential for counteracting noise in quantum computations until fault-tolerant quantum technologies become viable. Here, we introduce Noise-Robust Estimation (NRE), a noise-agnostic framework that systematically reduces estimation bias through a two-step post-processing approach. At its core, NRE exploits a bias-dispersion correlation uncovered in this work, wherein a measurable metric -- normalized dispersion -- quantifies and helps suppress unknown residual bias in expectation value estimations. To reveal this correlation, we leverage bootstrapping on the existing measurement counts. We experimentally validate NRE on an IQM superconducting quantum processor, executing quantum circuits with up to 20 qubits and 240 entangling CZ gates. Our results demonstrate that NRE consistently achieves near bias-free estimations across different implementation settings while maintaining a manageable sampling overhead. These findings establish NRE as a reliable and broadly applicable error mitigation method for quantum computation with noisy hardware.

  Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) offer the most promising path to obtaining quantum advantages via noisy processors. gate noise due to imperfections and decoherence affects the gradient estimates by introducing a bias. Quantum error mitigation (QEM) techniques can reduce the estimation bias without requiring any increase in the number of qubits. QEM can reduce the number of required iterations, but only as long as the quantum noise level is sufficiently small.
