Quantum Error Mitigation for Probability Distributions
Summary
The USPTO published patent application US20260099753A1 for a quantum computing system that performs error mitigation on probability distributions obtained from quantum circuit observables. The system executes multiple shots of a quantum circuit to obtain noise probabilities, determines expectation values, performs error mitigation, and transforms results into error mitigated probability distributions. The application was filed on October 9, 2024.
What changed
USPTO published a patent application for a quantum computing system and method for determining error mitigated probability distributions. The system comprises memory and processor components that execute quantum circuit shots to obtain noise probabilities, determine a probability distribution of the noise probabilities, calculate expectation values of observables, perform error mitigation on those values, and transform the results into an error mitigated probability distribution.
Affected parties include quantum computing developers, quantum software engineers, and organizations developing quantum algorithms for optimization, machine learning, or cryptography applications. While this is a patent application publication rather than a granted patent, it signals a new technical approach to quantum error mitigation that competitors in the quantum computing space should monitor for potential licensing or design-around considerations.

Abstract
One or more systems, devices, computer program products and/or computer-implemented methods for determining error mitigated probability distributions are provided. A system can comprise a memory that can store computer-executable components. The system can further comprise a processor that executes at least one of the computer executable components that can execute a plurality of shots of a quantum circuit to obtain noise probabilities of observables; obtain a probability distribution of the noise probabilities; determine, using the probability distribution, expectation values of the observables; perform error mitigation on the expectation values to obtain an error mitigated probability distribution; and transform the error mitigated expectation values into an error mitigated probability distribution.
