Error mitigation on Amazon Braket with program sets and Mitiq

To get the most out of today’s noisy quantum computers, quantum computational experiments commonly utilize quantum error mitigation (QEM) techniques. These methods include discarding known noisy results (post selection), modifying underlying pulse sequences, amplifying noise within a quantum circuit, and many more. QEM does not offer fault tolerant or error-free means of computation but can […]
