Quantum-Error-Mitigated Detectable Byzantine Agreement with Dynamical Decoupling for Distributed Quantum ComputingQuantum Byzantine Agreement • November 7th, 2023
Contract Type FiledNovember 7th, 2023In the burgeoning domain of distributed quantum computing, achieving consensus amidst adver- sarial settings remains a pivotal challenge. We introduce an enhancement to the Quantum Byzantine Agreement (QBA) protocol, uniquely incorporating advanced error mitigation techniques: Twirled Readout Error Extinction (T-REx) and dynamical decoupling (DD)[1, 2]. Central to this refined approach is the utilization of a Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) source device for height- ened performance [3]. Extensive tests on both simulated and real-world quantum devices, notably IBM’s quantum computer, provide compelling evidence of the effectiveness of our T-REx and DD adaptations in mitigating prevalent quantum channel errors.
