• Abstract: A practical realization of quantum metrology, enhancing the sensitivity of parameter estimation beyond the classical limit, is significantly hindered by the effect of noise. To tackle this challenge, quantum error correction (QEC) has been considered, however, indistinguishable noise from the signal and the bias induced by unknown noise prevents it from recovering the enhanced precision in practice. Meanwhile, virtual purification (VP), an error mitigation technique, has been recently shown to mitigate the bias induced by noise in quantum metrology. In this work, we comparatively analyze the performance of QEC and VP in a realistic quantum metrology scenario. We show that while an ideal QEC setup fails to correct indistinguishable noise from the signal and induces bias, VP can mitigate such indistinguishable noise and bias, resulting in more accurate estimations. We then demonstrate that VP with a stabilizer state probe in $5$-qubit GHZ state and $7$-qubit Steane code state can efficiently suppress the bias under local depolarizing noise. Our result highlights that VP along with encoded probe states can effectively suppress the effect of noise in realistic setups, where error distinguishability poses significant challenges.

  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.

  Noise in gradient descent provides a crucial implicit regularization effect for training over parameterized models. We show that parameter-dependent noise -- induced by mini-batches or label perturbation -- is far more effective than Gaussian noise. Our analysis reveals that parameter-dependent noise introduces a bias towards local minima with smaller noise variance, whereas spherical Gaussian noise does not.
