These capabilities are central to key quantum protocols such as quantum error correction, and have recently demonstrated significant potential for reducing quantum resources, including circuit depth and gate count, across a range of applications. However, executing dynamic circuits on real quantum hardware introduces a critical trade-off: while resource requirements decrease, circuit fidelity degrades due to high error rates of mid-circuit measurements, as well as the decoherence errors accumulated during the extended idle periods introduced by both mid-circuit measurements and feed-forward operations. In this paper, we systematically investigate the impact of standard error mitigation techniques on dynamic circuit applications pertaining to Hamiltonian simulation and ground state estimation of physically relevant systems like the Heisenberg model. We explore dynamical decoupling (DD) as a strategy to suppress decoherence and crosstalk errors during idle windows introduced by mid-circuit measurements and feed-forward delays, and also examine error mitigation via zero-noise extrapolation (ZNE). Through experiments conducted on IBM quantum hardware, we benchmark effective combinations of these strategies that maximize the practical benefits of dynamic quantum circuits in these applications. We demonstrate that a combination of DD and ZNE is effective in mitigating the errors introduced during mid-circuit measurements and feed-forward operations, as well as the errors arising from faulty measurements. This approach yields a fidelity improvement of at least 60% in ground state estimation and reduces observed error of time-evolved states by up to 99% for the Ising model and up to 20% for the Heisenberg model.
