QC WORKSHOP 20: INTRO TO QUANTUM ERROR MITIGATION

BACKGROUND

In the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era, we are limited by the number of qubits, coherence time, and gate fidelity. While Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is on its way, we still want to get meaningful results from such noisy quantum devices. It naturally introduces the idea of Error Mitigation (EM), which aims at recovering the ideal measurement statistics instead of the ideal output state in QEC, as a transition stage toward the fault-tolerant regime.

OUR SPEAKER

Zhixin Song is currently a Physics Ph.D. student at Georgia Institute of Technology. He has previously done an internship at Baidu Research, Institute for Quantum Computing, working on Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) and a Quantum Machine Learning toolkit called Paddle Quantum. His current research focuses on experimental quantum simulation, optimal quantum control, and quantum many-body systems.

IN THIS SESSION

You will learn

  1. Different types of quantum noise
  2. Error mitigation (EM) methods including Zero Noise Extrapolation (ZNE), Probabilistic Error Cancellation (PEC), and Dynamical Decoupling (DD)
  3. Error mitigation and Variational Quantum Algorithms
  4. Connection with classical shadows
  5. Recent experimental progress
