Description
Accurate and high-performance simulation of both gate and pulse level noise models is an essential tool for the research of both algorithm performance, and the effectiveness of error characterization, mitigation, and correction techniques on near-term quantum devices. In this talk we will introduce several ways of modeling pulse and circuit level noise processes in HPC simulations; describe challenges in implementing accurate device-level noise models for simulator designers and users; and discuss trade-offs in accuracy vs performance and their suitability for different applications. While doing this we will also give an overview of the capabilities and performance of various noisy HPC simulation techniques available in Qiskit.
