ZNE error mitigation with mid-transpilation noise amplification

[pedrorrivero]

Description

Develop a noise amplification transpiler pass for Qiskit, in the context of Zero Noise Extrapolation (ZNE) error mitigation, and deliver a working version of ZNE on top of an Estimator primitive; improving accuracy from what we have today and enabling further optimizations through the resulting architecture.

Relevant repositories:

• Qiskit Terra
• ZNE prototype
• Staged Primitives

Deliverables

A working version of ZNE, integrated within an Estimator primitive, where noise amplification is performed mid-transpilation.

I am interested in this project! :D

I am excited about the opportunity to work on the development of a noise amplification transpiler pass for Qiskit. Zero Noise Extrapolation (ZNE) is an important technique for mitigating errors in quantum circuits, and I believe that the integration of this technique within an Estimator primitive will not only improve accuracy but also enable further optimizations through the resulting architecture. I am confident that my experience in software development, particularly in Python, and my knowledge of Qiskit and the circuit model of quantum computing make me well-suited for this project. I look forward to contributing to the development of a working version of ZNE.

Not on time but a few updates if relevant! 😁 Not many changes in the project and it has been mostly been paused due to me not being able to dedicate time for it.

Updates:

• Minor refactors and stability updates to Global and Local Folding Amplifier
• More cleaner implementation with base interface
• Improved readability and naming convention followed
• Package for main repo

Scenario so far:
