Abstract:
The capabilities of current quantum computers are limited by their high error rates. Thus, reducing the impact of these errors is one of the crucial challenges for the successful execution of quantum algorithms. For this purpose, various error handling methods have been proposed, ranging from error correction codes that detect and correct errors during the execution on a quantum device to post-processing techniques that mitigate errors classically. As these methods have different requirements and advantages, developers need to have a thorough understanding of them, to be able to select a suitable error handling method for their scenario. In this work, we present three new patterns for quantum error handling, describing proven solution strategies in a well-structured manner and integrate them into an existing quantum computing pattern language.
