I achieved 97.8% average error recovery on IBM Quantum Torino hardware using classical post-processing. No calibration, no ancilla qubits, no hardware mods. Paper and data inside.

Summarize this article with:
I'm an independent researcher and I've developed a new approach to quantum error mitigation. The core idea: quantum decoherence acts as a diffusion process on measurement probability distributions, and you can reverse it using Richardson-Lucy deconvolution with self-calibrating asymmetric noise estimation. Results on IBM Quantum Torino (real hardware, 20,000 shots per circuit): GHZ 4 qubits: 100% recovery GHZ 8 qubits: 99.7% recovery GHZ 12 qubits: 99.8% recovery W-state 3 qubits: 99.8% recovery Bernstein-Vazirani 5 qubits: 87.6% recovery 3 Bell pairs 6 qubits: 99.6% recovery Average: 97.8% fidelity recovery across all circuits. The method self-calibrates from measurement data alone. Zero calibration circuits. Zero ancilla qubits. Runs in under 1 second on a laptop. Full paper with theory, math, and all experimental results: https://zenodo.org/records/18724718 Patent pending. Happy to answer questions and discuss. Also looking for an arXiv quant-ph endorsement if anyone is willing. Open to feedback and criticism. I want to learn as much as I can from this community. submitted by /u/nicazecenzo [link] [comments]
