  • Patent number: 11308252
    Abstract: Techniques that combine quantum error correction and quantum error mitigation are used to simulate a fault-tolerant T-gate with low sampling overhead using the quasiprobability decomposition method. In some embodiments, the T-gate can be simulated using two logical bits and a magic state preparation that mitigates the need for magic state distillation and consequently has a low sampling overhead. Alternatively, the T-gate can be simulated based on code deformation performed on the surface code. Noise is removed from the T-gate using quasiprobability decomposition based on a learned logical error rate.

  • Patent number: 10755193
    Abstract: One or more time correlations of noise within a quantum computing circuit of a quantum processor are determined. The quantum computing circuit includes one or more qubits. A coherence time for each qubit is determined, and one or more stretch factors are determined based upon the time correlations of the noise and the coherence times. A first loop is initialized that performs for each of the stretch factors: initializing the qubits to a ground state, executing the quantum computing circuit with a the stretch factor, performing one or more single-qubit post-rotations associated with one or more expectation values, measuring a state of each qubit to determine the one or more expectation values of interest, and resetting each qubit to the ground state. A mitigated estimate is determined for the expectation values based upon an extrapolation of the expectation values determined for each stretch factor.

  • Patent number: 10599989
    Abstract: A technique relates to reducing qubits required on a quantum computer. A Fermionic system is characterized in terms of a Hamiltonian. The Fermionic system includes Fermions and Fermionic modes with a total number of 2M Fermionic modes. The Hamiltonian has a parity symmetry encoded by spin up and spin down parity operators. Fermionic modes are sorted such that the first half of 2M modes corresponds to spin up and the second half of 2M modes corresponds to spin down. The Hamiltonian and the parity operators are transformed utilizing a Fermion to qubit mapping that transforms parity operators to a first single qubit Pauli operator on a qubit M and a second single qubit Pauli operator on a qubit 2M. The qubit M having been operated on by the first single qubit Pauli operator and the qubit 2M having been operated on by the second single qubit Pauli operator are removed.
