Noise-Adaptive Quantum Program Compilation for Error Mitigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing quantum computations face errors due to decoherence and relaxation of quantum information caused by environmental coupling, which existing dynamical decoupling methods complicate by requiring prior knowledge of device noise types.
Innovation Solution
A compiler system dynamically inserts error-mitigating operations into quantum programs based on real-time noise conditions, separating configuration from sequence insertion, using methods like XY, Can-Purcell, and Uhrig dynamical decoupling sequences tailored to specific noise conditions.

1Reliability
If dynamical decoupling operations are inserted into quantum programs to mitigate errors, then error mitigation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects and inserts decoupling sequences based on real-time noise conditions detected from the quantum device. The compiler monitors noise properties and adaptively modifies the quantum program by inserting appropriate dynamical decoupling operations (such as XY4, CPMG, or Uhrig sequences) only when and where needed, rather than statically adding all possible decoupling operations to every program.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of the quantum program by inserting decoupling sequences with specific timing and positioning based on noise characteristics. The compiler modifies program parameters such as operation timing, pulse sequences, and gate placements to optimize error mitigation while minimizing impact on program execution and maintaining reasonable program length.
2Measurement precision
If prior knowledge of noise types is required for dynamical decoupling, then error mitigation precision is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the compiler continuously monitors noise conditions from the quantum device and uses this information to dynamically adjust the quantum program. The noise assessment component measures current noise properties, and this feedback is used by the compilation component to select and insert appropriate decoupling sequences, enabling the system to adapt to changing noise conditions without requiring prior knowledge.
Solution Approach 2:
The quantum compilation system performs self-service by autonomously assessing noise conditions and selecting appropriate error mitigation strategies without external intervention. The compiler independently measures noise properties, determines the optimal decoupling sequence type, and inserts the necessary operations, making the system self-adaptive to various noise environments.
3Adaptability or versatility
If error-mitigating operations are inserted based on real-time noise conditions, then adaptability is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by inserting decoupling sequences only in regions of the quantum program where noise impact is significant, rather than uniformly applying decoupling to all operations. The compiler identifies critical circuit segments and applies error mitigation selectively, reducing the total number of inserted operations and minimizing time overhead while maintaining effectiveness.

AI summary
Embodiments are provided for error mitigation in quantum programs. In some embodiments, a system can include a processor that executes computer-executable components stored in memory. The computer-executable components can include a noise assessment component that identifies a noise condition of a qubit device based on a noise property of quantum hardware configured to operate on the qubit device. The qubit device is represented in a quantum program executable on the noisy quantum hardware. The computer-executable components also can include a compilation component that modifies the quantum program by inserting a defined sequence of error-mitigating operations into the quantum program based on the noise condition.
