Error-mitigated quantum gates exceeding physical fidelities in a trapped-ion system

Quantum error mitigation promises to improve expectation values’ estimation without the resource overhead of quantum error correction. Here, the authors test probabilistic error cancellation using trapped ions, decreasing single- and two-qubit gates’ error rates by two and one order of magnitude res...
