Abstract
Quantum computing is entering a transitional regime between noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) processing and early fault-tolerant quantum computation (FTQC), in which increasingly capable hardware is beginning to support repeated syndrome measurements, partial error correction, and logical-qubit operations, while residual physical and logical errors remain non-negligible. In this regime, error suppression, error mitigation, and quantum error correction are increasingly better viewed as complementary layers of a unified error-reduction strategy rather than as separate approaches, with each acting at a different stage of the quantum computation to improve simulation reliability. Thus, in this review, we provide a practical and forward-looking overview of the principal hardware error sources and the corresponding error suppression and mitigation methods for reducing their impact across the current NISQ-FTQC transition. We discuss hardware-aware circuit design, coherent-error suppression, readout mitigation, noise extrapolation, classical inference, and software-supported workflows, with particular emphasis on their implementation on actual quantum processors. We further examine how error mitigation techniques can be adapted to encoded and logical-qubit settings so that they can operate alongside quantum error correction to suppress residual logical errors and improve the accuracy of computation in the early fault-tolerant regime.引用本文复制引用
