Intro to Real Quantum Computers and Noise
Series: Quantum Noise
Opens with a one-qubit 'Hello World' that shows how projection, incoherent and coherent noise corrupt results, then contrasts error mitigation with error correction and surveys ZNE and PEC. The deep dive on PEC explains why a noise channel can't be inverted physically but can be on average, and the lecture ends with utility-scale experiments, including a 124-qubit study of many-body dynamics and local integrals of motion.
- Even/odd qubit-flipper circuit: ideal vs. real device results
- Error mitigation vs. error correction: costs, benefits, scaling
- PEC: layered circuits, CPTP noise channels, inverting noise on average
- Utility-scale experiments and integrals of motion in a 124-qubit Floquet system
