Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for reducing the sampling cost of quantum error mitigation. A map of root errors ('shaded light cone'), where each root error includes a likelihood an error impacts a state of a target qubit(s), is generated by computing time-evolved commutators of local errors and an observable (e.g., energy) or an initial state on a portion of the quantum circuit. A prioritization scheme is then applied after using the generated map to tighten an upper bound on a systematic error of a quantum error mitigation computation to reduce an error rate of the state of a target qubit(s). For example, error channels defined by a noise model may be prioritized using the upper bound. Anti-noise may then be applied to mitigate the error channels in order of priority. In this manner, there is a reduction in overall execution time for quantum error mitigation techniques.
