Researchers use transfer learning to model quantum device noise with few samples

Researchers have developed a few-shot transfer learning method to model noise on quantum devices, addressing limitations in error mitigation strategies. By training a residual neural network on data from an IBM quantum device, they demonstrated that noise models can be effectively transferred to a different device with minimal fine-tuning data. This approach showed a significant improvement in recovering ideal circuit outcomes, with CX gate error and readout error identified as primary causes of cross-device mismatches. AI

IMPACT Enables more robust quantum error mitigation by adapting noise models across different hardware with limited data.
