US Patent 11537927 Quantum readout error mitigation by stochastic matrix inversion

A method of mitigating quantum readout errors by stochastic matrix inversion includes performing a plurality of quantum measurements on a plurality of qubits having predetermined plurality of states to obtain a plurality of measurement outputs; selecting a model for a matrix linking the predetermined plurality of states to the plurality of measurement outputs, the model having a plurality of model parameters, wherein a number of the plurality of model parameters grows less than exponentially with a number of the plurality of qubits; training the model parameters to minimize a loss function that compares predictions of the model with the matrix; computing an inverse of the model based on the trained model parameters; and providing the computed inverse of the model to a noise prone quantum readout of the plurality of qubits to obtain a substantially noise free quantum readout.
