• Abstract: Physical-level noise on traveling bosonic modes remains a critical bottleneck for scalable quantum information processing. We show that for any single-mode bosonic code (qumode) corrupted by thermal or Gaussian displacement noise at loss rate $μ$ and amplification $G$, a hybrid continuous-discrete-variable (CV-DV) interferometer using a single qubit ancilla and two controlled-Fourier (CF) gates sandwiching the noise channel suppresses its effects from linear to quadratic scaling. This is achieved without active error correction or destructive measurements of the encoded state, maintaining high success probabilities $\geq 0.5$ when $μG \leq 0.5$. When supplemented with multiple ancillas, the protocol converts photon loss into coherent Fock-damping, and thermal or displacement noise into a mixture of Fock-diagonal noise. The protocol is entirely code-agnostic. For the special case of $2^K$-fold rotation-symmetric bosonic codes, it simplifies to conventional error detection and projection with $K$ ancillas. Suppression with simple gates and few ancillas demonstrates a clear hardware-efficient advantage over previously proposed ``bypass'' schemes, where quantum information transferred to the DV ancillas is readily corrupted by ancilla noise. Finally, we extend the protocol to a qutrit DV ancilla. This demonstrates resilience to both CV noise and composite DV damping noise, achieving a truly hybrid noise suppression scheme that operates effectively even on CV encodings lacking a well-defined photon-number parity syndrome.
