Coping with noise in quantum computation poses significant challenges due to its unpredictable nature and the complexities of accurate modeling. This paper presents noise-adaptive folding, a technique that enhances zero-noise extrapolation (ZNE) through the use of adaptive scaling factors based on circuit error measurements. Furthermore, we introdu...

A common approach to deal with gate errors in modern quantum-computing hardware is zero-noise extrapolation. By artificially amplifying errors and extrapolating the expectation values obtained with different error strengths towards the zero-error (zero-noise) limit, the technique aims at rectifying errors in noisy quantum computing systems. For acc...

This paper presents strategies to improve the performance of digitized counterdiabatic quantum optimization algorithms by cooptimizing gate sequences, algorithm parameters, and qubit mapping. Demonstrations on real hardware validate the effectiveness of these strategies, leveraging both algorithmic and hardware advantages. Specifically, our approac...

Vigorous optimization of quantum gates has led to bipotent quantum architectures, where the optimized gates are available for some qubits but not for others. However, such gate-level improvements limit the application of user-side pulse-level optimizations, which have proven effective for quantum circuits with a high level of regularity, such as th...

Objective. Electrochemical microsensors based on noble metals can give essential information on their microenvironment with high spatio-temporal resolution. However, most advanced chemo- and biosensors lack the long-term stability for physiological monitoring of brain tissue beyond an acute application. Noble metal electrodes are widely used as neu...

Intercranial planar electrodes enable neural recordings with high spatial resolution in diagnosis as well as for treatments. The value of the measurements increases with the precision of localization of the electrodes related to the individual anatomy. In this context, post-implantation MRI provides excellent soft tissue contrast, but the accurate...
