Logical Shadow Tomography: Efficient Estimation of Error-mitigated Observables

In near-term quantum applications, reducing errors and improving device reliability is an essential task. Towards these ends, various techniques have been introduced in recent literature, collectively referred to as quantum error mitigation techniques, for reducing errors in pre-fault-tolerant devices. Here, we introduce logical shadow tomography as a versatile error mitigation method. Our technique uses a stabilizer code to encode information in a logical state. Instead of doing active error correction, quantum states will be measured at the end of computation via shadow tomography and non-logical errors are projected out in the classical post-processing. Relative to quantum subspace expansion which requires O(2(M-1)L) experiments to estimate an logical Pauli observable encoded by an [[M, L, d]] code, our technique only requires 2L experiments, an important practical reduction in resources.

Logical shadow tomography: Efficient estimation of error-mitigated observables

We introduce a technique to estimate error-mitigated expectation values on noisy quantum computers. Our technique performs shadow tomography on a logical state to produce a memory-efficient classical reconstruction of the noisy density matrix. Using efficient classical post-processing, one can mitigate errors by projecting into the codespace as in subspace expansion and taking powers of the density matrix as in virtual distillation. Relative to subspace expansion which requires Ω (2^((n-1)k) samples to estimate a Pauli observable with an [[n; k]] stabilizer code, our technique requires only Ө(2^k) samples. Relative to virtual distillation, our technique can compute powers of the density matrix without implementing additional copies of quantum states the quantum computer. We present numerical results using logical states encoded with up to sixty physical qubits and show fast convergence to error-free expectation values with only 10^5 samples under 1% depolarizing noise.

Screening and Management of Asymptomatic Renal Stones in Astronauts

Management guidelines were created to screen and manage asymptomatic renal stones in U.S. astronauts. The true risk for renal stone formation in astronauts due to the space flight environment is unknown. Proper management of this condition is crucial to mitigate health and mission risks. The NASA Flight Medicine Clinic electronic medical record and the Lifetime Surveillance of Astronaut Health databases were reviewed. An extensive review of the literature and current aeromedical standards for the monitoring and management of renal stones was also done. This work was used to develop a screening and management protocol for renal stones in astronauts that is relevant to the spaceflight operational environment. In the proposed guidelines all astronauts receive a yearly screening and post-flight renal ultrasound using a novel ultrasound protocol. The ultrasound protocol uses a combination of factors, including: size, position, shadow, twinkle and dispersion properties to confirm the presence of a renal calcification. For mission-assigned astronauts, any positive ultrasound study is followed by a low-dose renal computed tomography scan and urologic consult. Other specific guidelines were also created. A small asymptomatic renal stone within the renal collecting system may become symptomatic at any time, and therefore affect launch and flight schedules, or cause incapacitation during a mission. Astronauts in need of definitive care can be evacuated from the International Space Station, but for deep space missions evacuation is impossible. The new screening and management algorithm has been implemented and the initial round of screening ultrasounds is under way. Data from these exams will better define the incidence of renal stones in U.S. astronauts, and will be used to inform risk mitigation for both short and long duration spaceflights.
