Description
Quantum computing promises to address problems in simulation, optimization, and chemistry, but current hardware operates in the noisy intermediate-scale (NISQ) regime where coherence limits, gate imperfections, and readout errors restrict performance. Improving calibration and mitigating errors therefore remain essential.
This thesis analyzes error reduction on superconducting transmon qubits through calibration, gate analysis, and circuit-level mitigation. It compares single-qubit amplitude calibration methods and analyzes two-qubit gates based on the cross-resonance interaction, identifying differences in precision, convergence, and performance. In addition, it develops Inverted-Circuit Zero-Noise-Extrapolation (IC-ZNE) which measures effective error strength using inverted circuits. Compared to standard ZNE, IC-ZNE achieves results closer to ideal values and reduces observable errors. Overall, the presented methods improve the reliability of near-term quantum processors.
