Cost-Effective Scalable Quantum Error Mitigation for Tiled Ansätze.

We introduce a cost-effective quantum error mitigation technique that builds upon the recent Ansatz-based gate and readout error mitigation method (M0). The technique, tiled M0, leverages the unique structure of tiled Ansätze (e.g., tUPS, QNP, and hardware-efficient circuits) to apply a locality approximation to M0 that results in an exponential reduction in the QPU cost of the noise characterization. We validate the technique for molecular ground-state energy calculations with the tUPS Ansatz on LiH, H2, H2O, butadiene, and benzene (4-12 qubits), demonstrating little to no loss in accuracy compared to M0 in noisy simulations. We also show the performance of the technique in quantum experiments, highlighting its potential use in near-term applications.
