M3: Matrix-free measurement mitigation

Project description

License PyPI version pypi workflow

Matrix-free Measurement Mitigation (M3).

M3 is a measurement mitigation technique that solves for corrected measurement probabilities using a dimensionality reduction step followed by either direct LU factorization or a preconditioned iterative method that nominally converges in O(1) steps, and can be computed in parallel. For example, M3 can compute corrections on 42 qubit GHZ problems in under two seconds on a quad-core machine (depending on the number of unique bitstrings in the output).

Installation

You can pip install M3 in serial mode using PyPi via:

pip install mthree

Alternatively, one can install from source:

python setup.py install

To enable openmp one must have an openmp 3.0+ enabled compiler and install with:

python setup.py install --openmp

OpenMP on OSX

On OSX one must install LLVM using homebrew (You cannot use GCC):

brew install llvm

after which the following (or the like) must be executed in the terminal:

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin:$PATH"

and

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/llvm/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/opt/llvm/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/llvm/include"

Then installation with openmp can be accomplished using:

CC=clang CXX=clang python setup.py install --openmp

Usage

Basic usage

M3 is simple to use:

import mthree
# Specify a mitigator object targeting a given backend
mit = mthree.M3Mitigation(backend)

# Compute the 1Q calibration matrices for the given qubits and given number of shots
# By default it is over all backend qubits at 10000 shots.
mit.cals_from_system(qubits, shots)

# Apply mitigation to a given dict of raw counts over the specified qubits
m3_quasi = mit.apply_correction(raw_counts, qubits)

Note that here qubits is a list of which qubits are measured to yield the bits in the output. For example the list [4,3,1,2,0] indicates that a measurement on physical qubit 4 was written to classical bit zero in the output bit-strings, physical qubit 3 maps to classical bit 1, etc. The fact that the zeroth bit is right-most in the bitstring is handled internally.

Error bounds

It is possible to compute error bounds in a similarly efficient manner. This is not done by default, but rather turned on using:

m3_quasi = mit.apply_correction(raw_counts, qubits, return_mitigation_overhead=True)

Then the distribution itself can be called to return things like the expectation value and the standard deviation:

expval, stddev = quasi.expval_and_stddev()

Closest probability distribution

The results of M3 mitigation are quasi-probabilities that nominally contain small negative values. This is suitable for use in computing corrected expectation values or sampling problems where one is interested in the highest probability bit-string. However, if one needs a true probability distribution then it is possible to convert from quasi-probabilites to the closest true probability distribution in L2-norm using:

closest_probs = m3_quasi.nearest_probability_distribution()
