The accumulation of noise in quantum computers is the dominant issue stymieing push algorithms beyond their classical counterparts. We do not expect to be able afford overhead required for error correction next decade, so meantime we must rely on low-cost, unscalable mitigation techniques bring computing its full potential. In this paper present a new technique based phase estimation that can also reduce errors expectation value (e.g., variational algorithms). general idea apply while...

Here, we study within seniority-zero electron pairing subspace, which affords both a computational stepping stone fully correlated model, and an opportunity validate recently introduced ``purification-based'' error-mitigation strategies. We compare performance...
Coherent optical states consist of a quantum superposition different photon number (Fock) states, but because they do not form an orthogonal basis, no can be obtained from it by linear optics. Here we demonstrate the reverse, manipulating random continuous single-photon stream using interference in Sagnac loop, create engineered light with tunable statistics, including approximate weak coherent states. We this experimentally true produced semiconductor dot microcavity, and show that obtain...
Transitions out of the ground space limit performance quantum adiabatic algorithms, while hardware imperfections impose stringent limitations on circuit depth. We propose an echo verification protocol which mitigates both coherent and incoherent errors, arising from non-adiabatic transitions noise, respectively. Quasi-adiabatically evolving forward backward allows for echo-verified measurement any observable. In addition to mitigating our method uses positive-time dynamics only. Crucially,...

As fully fault-tolerant quantum computers capable of solving useful problems remain a future goal, we anticipate an era "early fault tolerance" allowing for limited error correction. We propose framework designing early algorithms by trading between correction overhead and residual logical noise, apply it to phase estimation (QPE). develop quantum-Fourier-transform (QFT)-based QPE technique that is robust global depolarising noise outperforms the previous state art at low moderate rates....
