The challenge to achieve practical quantum computing considering current hardware size and gate fidelity is the sensitivity to errors and noise. Recent work has shown that by learning the underlying noise model capturing qubit cross-talk,…

The sensitivity of classical and quantum sensing is impaired in a noisy environment. Thus, one of the main challenges facing sensing protocols is to reduce the noise while preserving the signal. State of the art quantum sensing protocols…
