Error mitigation of entangled states using brainbox quantum autoencoders

Abstract

Current quantum hardware is subject to various sources of noise that limits the access to multi-qubit entangled states. Quantum autoencoder circuits with a single qubit bottleneck have shown capability to correct error in noisy entangled state. By introducing slightly more complex structures in the bottleneck, the so-called brainboxes, the denoising process can take place faster and for stronger noise channels. Choosing the most suitable brainbox for the bottleneck is the result of a trade-off between noise intensity on the hardware, and the training impedance. Finally, by studying R\'enyi entropy flow throughout the networks we demonstrate that the localization of entanglement plays a central role in denoising through learning.
