1Measurement precision
If analysis using quantum master equation is performed, then noise simulation can be conducted, but computation cost increases exponentially with the number of quantum bits
Solution Approach 1:
The quantum circuit is divided into individual quantum gates, and noise processes are extracted and applied separately for each gate. This segmentation allows the noise simulation to be performed gate-by-gate rather than requiring full quantum master equation analysis of the entire system, thereby reducing computation cost while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the continuous noise processes described by quantum master equation into discrete noise processes that can be represented as quantum gates. By parameterizing the noise processes (e.g., using Pauli error rates, depolarizing noise parameters), the simulation can use efficient gate-based computation instead of expensive matrix operations.
2Productivity
If noise is categorized into common types (N1Q, N2Q), then noise simulation can be performed, but accuracy is reduced due to inability to model coherent errors with changing nature
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the noise process dynamic by extracting and applying specific noise processes individually for each quantum gate based on its characteristics. Instead of using static common noise categories, the noise model adapts to each gate's specific error characteristics, enabling accurate modeling of coherent errors whose nature changes depending on the simultaneous quantum gate action.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional noise processes are applied after quantum gates, then noise simulation can be performed, but the simultaneous action of noise and quantum gate cannot be accurately modeled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the noise process from each quantum gate operation in advance, capturing the simultaneous action characteristics. By pre-characterizing the noise process for each gate type and applying it immediately after the gate operation, the method models the simultaneous action of noise and quantum gate more accurately than conventional sequential approaches.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus (1) performs noise simulation using a noise process of a quantum gate included in a quantum circuit. For example, after the processing by the quantum gate, the information processing apparatus (1) performs noise simulation by performing application, as the noise process, including applying the quantum gate by half in a reverse direction, adding time evolution derived from residual interaction, and applying the quantum gate by another half in a forward direction.
