Extension of Clifford Data Regression Methods for Quantum Error Mitigation

In addressing the challenge posed by noise in actual quantum devices, the application of quantum error mitigation techniques becomes essential. These techniques are resource-efficient, making them viable for implementation in noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices, unlike the resource-intensive quantum error correction codes. A prominent example among these techniques is Clifford Data Regression, which employs a supervised learning approach. This work explores two variants of this technique, both of which add a non-trivial set of gates to the original circuit. The first variant leverages copies of the original circuit, whereas the second approach adds a layer of 1-qubit rotations.
