Researchers introduced MERA, a novel quantum circuit compilation framework addressing mid-circuit measurement (MCM) errors, which degrade fidelity through qubit-dependent variability like crosstalk and decoherence. Current compilers ignore these device-specific errors, limiting performance. MERA uses lightweight profiling to map per-qubit MCM error distributions, guiding optimized qubit layout and SWAP gate placement. This error-aware approach reduces fidelity loss without adding computational overhead. The framework enhances scheduling with context-aware dynamic decoupling, minimizing idling-qubit decoherence and crosstalk during MCM operations. This improves circuit robustness in dynamic quantum algorithms. Benchmark tests on 27 circuits show MERA boosts fidelity by 24.94–52.00% over Qiskit’s top optimization level. On QR-Map circuits, gains reach 122.58%, proving its edge for MCM-heavy workloads. Published November 2025, the work bridges quantum hardware limitations and algorithm efficiency, targeting near-term devices where MCM errors are critical. The authors emphasize scalability for error-corrected systems.

Quantum Physics arXiv:2511.10921 (quant-ph) [Submitted on 14 Nov 2025] Title:A Compilation Framework for Quantum Circuits with Mid-Circuit Measurement Error Awareness Authors:Ming Zhong, Zhemin Zhang, Xiangyu Ren, Chenghong Zhu, Siyuan Niu, Zhiding Liang View a PDF of the paper titled A Compilation Framework for Quantum Circuits with Mid-Circuit Measurement Error Awareness, by Ming Zhong and 5 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Mid-circuit measurement (MCM) provides the capability for qubit reuse and dynamic control in quantum processors, enabling more resource-efficient algorithms and supporting error-correction procedures. However, MCM introduces several sources of error, including measurement-induced crosstalk, idling-qubit decoherence, and reset infidelity, and these errors exhibit pronounced qubit-dependent variability within a single device. Since existing compilers such as the Qiskit-compiler and QR-Map (the state-of-art qubit reuse compiler) do not account for this variability, circuits with frequent MCM operations often experience substantial fidelity loss. In thie paper, we propose MERA, a compilation framework that performs MCM-error-aware layout, routing, and scheduling. MERA leverages lightweight profiling to obtain a stable per-qubit MCM error distribution, which it uses to guide error-aware qubit mapping and SWAP insertions. To further mitigate MCM-related decoherence and crosstalk, MERA augments as-late-as-possible scheduling with context-aware dynamic decoupling. Evaluated on 27 benchmark circuits, MERA achieves 24.94% -- 52.00% fidelity improvement over the Qiskit compiler (optimization level 3) without introducing additional overhead. On QR-Map-generated circuits, it improves fidelity by 29.26% on average and up to 122.58% in the best case, demonstrating its effectiveness for dynamic circuits dominated by MCM operations.
