New QEMScore metric challenges learned quantum error mitigation claims

A new scoring metric called QEMScore has been proposed to better evaluate learned quantum error mitigation techniques. This metric compares a learned mitigator against a capacity-matched control model that uses the same circuit description but does not read the measurement data. Experiments show that in controlled settings, a simple polynomial fit can outperform learned mitigators, and that the control model often matches a significant portion of the learned mitigator's gain. However, analysis of released hardware data reveals that measurement inputs can carry predictive gains for specific learners like Q-LEAR and QRAFT. AI
