    Mitiq : a software package for error mitigation on noisy quantum computers

    We introduce Mitiq, a Python package for error mitigation on noisy quantum computers. Error mitigation techniques can reduce the impact of noise on near-term quantum computers with minimal overhead in quantum resources by relying on a mixture of quantum sampling and classical post-processing techniques. Mitiq is an extensible toolkit of different error mitigation methods, including zero-noise extrapolation, probabilistic error cancellation, and Clifford data regression. The library is designed to be compatible with generic backends and interfaces with different quantum software frameworks. We describe Mitiq using code snippets to demonstrate usage and discuss features and contribution guidelines. We present several examples demonstrating error mitigation on IBM and Rigetti superconducting quantum processors as well as on noisy simulators

    OQpy: OpenQASM 3 + OpenPulse in Python

    No full text
    The goal of oqpy ("ock-pie") is to make it easy to generate OpenQASM 3 + OpenPulse in Python. The oqpy library builds off of the openqasm3 and openpulse packages, which serve as Python reference implementations of the abstract syntax tree (AST) for the OpenQASM 3 and OpenPulse grammars.If you use this software, please cite it using these metadata

    Rapid formation of regulated methacrylate networks yielding tough materials for lithography-based 3D printing

    Multifunctional methacrylates are highly reactive monomers for radical photopolymerization, but yield brittle materials due to their inhomogeneous and highly crosslinked network architecture. Addition fragmentation chain transfer (AFCT) reagents serve as additives for the regulation of radical network formation and pave the way to photopolymer networks with high toughness. However, AFCT reagents (e.g. β-allyl sulfones) tend to have a negative influence on the reaction speed which limits them for lithography-based 3D fabrication. Vinyl sulfone esters are described as a new class of AFCT reagents for methacrylate-based photopolymerization without the drawback of retardation but good regulation of network architecture. The resulting materials show high network homogeneity, low shrinkage stress, and a significant increase in C[double bond, length as m-dash]C double bond conversion and toughness. This promises great potential for vinyl sulfone esters as AFCT reagents in photopolymer applications. First 3D parts have been successfully fabricated via digital light processing.
