QESEM: Reliable High-Accuracy Error Mitigation for Utility-Scale Quantum Circuits

Abstract: Errors remain the primary obstacle to realizing the potential of quantum computers, necessiating the development of methods to reduce errors such as error mitigation (EM). I will begin by explaining why EM methods are expected to be the first to unlock quantum advantage, and why they will continue to play a central role even as error correction becomes feasible. This led us to develop QESEM, Qedma’s characterization-based software tool for efficient, unbiased quasi-probabilistic error mitigation. The talk highlights the key innovations underlying QESEM’s operation and present recent results on IBM Heron r2 devices demonstrating its capabilities in the largest utility-scale unbiased error mitigation experiment to date. I will conclude with a perspective on QESEM’s projected performance on near-term quantum devices and its implications for achieving quantum advantage.
