Learning to Concatenate Quantum Codes

The paper proposes a hybrid, learning‑based strategy for selecting quantum error‑correcting codes at each concatenation level. By estimating the effective noise channel after each level, the method chooses small, non‑additive encoders when the noise has structure and switches to standard codes as the noise becomes uniform. Simulations show that this adaptive approach can achieve a target logical error rate with up to two orders of magnitude fewer qubits than using stabilizer codes alone for strongly structured noise.

APGEM: Adaptive Policy-Guided Error Mitigation for Quantum Reinforcement Learning on a Real-World CVRP Case Study

The paper introduces APGEM, an adaptive controller that dynamically selects among four error‑mitigation techniques—Zero‑Noise Extrapolation, Probabilistic Error Cancellation, Clifford Data Regression, and Readout Error Mitigation—based on a utility function and Q‑learning scores. Applied to a realistic Delhi‑based Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem, the adaptive approach improves the quantum reinforcement learning agent’s approximation ratios from 0.84‑0.87 to 0.92‑0.94 under high noise, outperforming constructive heuristics and approaching metaheuristics. The controller’s strategy shifts from a Clifford‑data‑regression‑heavy regime early in training to a balanced use of all techniques as training progresses, demonstrating regime‑dependent selection.
