Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for calibrating a quantum error mitigation technique with appropriate settings. Calibrations of the quantum error mitigation technique corresponding to combinations of noise factors and extrapolation functions that when applied to quantum circuits that represent the target quantum circuit achieve an expectation value that is close to a zero-noise value within a threshold degree of accuracy are saved. A calibration (combination of noise factors and an extrapolation function) is then selected from the saved calibrations based on the depth of the target quantum circuit. The quantum error mitigation technique is then calibrated based on the selected calibration. The calibrated quantum error mitigation technique is then performed on the target quantum circuit. In this manner, a quantum error mitigation technique is automatically calibrated with the appropriate settings to achieve a zero-noise value by the target quantum circuit without requiring multiple iterations.
