This analysis exposes a critical flaw in Richardson Zero-Noise Extrapolation (ZNE), where mathematical artifacts on current hardware like IQM's Euro-Q-Exa can falsely claim up to 21% performance gains as signal-to-noise ratios degrade. The discovery that negative control circuits with no usable data yield higher apparent improvements than genuine runs fundamentally undermines the reliability of existing benchmarks for assessing quantum error mitigation progress. For researchers, this necessitates revising empirical evaluation protocols to distinguish between actual noise reduction and extrapolation-induced overestimation before scaling up circuit depths.
IQM Hardware Shows ZNE Can Report False 21% Improvements

Analysis of IQM hardware reveals Zero-Noise Extrapolation (ZNE) can falsely report up to 21% improvement, independent of actual noise reduction.
IQM Euro-Q-Exa hardware has revealed a flaw in Zero-Noise Extrapolation, a widely used quantum error mitigation technique. The technique can report improvements of up to 21% as circuit depth erodes the signal, causing the reported estimate to deviate from the true value and exceed the ideal. Researchers found that ZNE's reported gains are not necessarily indicative of actual correctness, but can instead result from mathematical artifacts within the extrapolation process. This "collapse" occurs when noise overwhelms the signal, leading to a misleadingly optimistic result; a matched-cost negative control circuit with no usable signal even reported a larger apparent improvement than…
