• Abstract: Errors are arguably the most pressing challenge impeding practical applications of quantum computers, which has instigated vigorous research on the development of quantum error mitigation (QEM) techniques. Existing QEM methods suppress errors with a varying degree of efficacy but importantly demand significant additional quantum and classical computational resources. In this work, we present Fictitious Copy Quantum Error Mitigation (FCQEM) method which corrects quantum errors without requiring any additional quantum resources and purely relies on using classical postprocessing of a joint probability distribution to correct expectation values. The joint probability distribution can be measured ``fictitiously'' by sampling one copy of noisy quantum circuit twice, or classically squaring probabilities from simply one copy. We show that FCQEM can recover eigenvalues even if exact eigenstates are not prepared. Furthermore, our technique can benefit other noise mitigation techniques with no additional quantum resources, which is demonstrated by combining FCQEM with the Quantum Computed Moments (QCM) method. FCQEM can compensate for noise that is pathological to QCM, and QCM allows for FCQEM to recover the ground state energy with a larger variety of trial states. We show that our technique can find the exact ground state energy of molecular and spin models under simulated noise models as well as experiments on a Rigetti 84-qubit superconducting quantum processor. The reported FCQEM method is general purpose for the current generation of quantum devices and is applicable to any problem that measures eigenvalues of operators on sharply peaked distributions.
