Simulating open quantum systems using noise models and NISQ devices with error mitigation

Abstract

In this work, we present simulations of two Open Quantum System models, Collisional and Markovian Reservoir, with noise simulations, the IBM devices ($\textit{ibm_kyoto}$, $\textit{ibm_osaka}$) and the OQC device Lucy. Extending the results of Garc\'ia-P\'erez, et al. [npj Quantum Information 6.1 (2020): 1]. Using the Mitiq toolkit, we apply Zero-Noise extrapolation (ZNE), an error mitigation technique, and analyze their deviation from the theoretical results for the models under study. For both models, by applying ZNE, we were able to reduce the error and overlap it with the theoretical results. All our simulations and experiments were done in the qBraid environment.
