Quantum error mitigation
Open accessAbstract
In most of physics it is normal to obtain information by analysis of noisy data. The paradigm of quantum computing has been a simplified version of this -- one measurement of a two-level system gives one bit of reliable information about the result of a computation. But real-world quantum computers do not work this way: the noisiness of quantum evolution also requires good strategies for extracting information. This review covers many error-mitigation strategies used in present-day quantum processors. These strategies make it much more feasible to obtain useful results before fault tolerance is achieved.

“However, besides the technical challenge of building hardware that achieves the threshold, the implementation of a fault-tolerant universal gate set with current codes, such as the surface code (Fowler et al. , 2012), generates a qubit overhead that seems daunting at the moment.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
