Riassunto
This master's thesis studies the application of Lattice Gauge Theory models to simulate physical systems using quantum computers. The history of quantum computing, its potential advantages over classical computing, the difficulties noise poses in quantum systems, and other topics are covered in the first part. The thesis investigates numerous quantum error-mitigating methods, including Zero Noise Extrapolation, Measurement Error Mitigation, Probabilistic Error Cancellation, and Depolarizing mitigation, to address these challeges. Additionally, a novel mitigation procedure that combines General Error Mitigation and Depolarazing mitigation is proposed and compared against existing methods, along with an original calculation for Jattana's General Error Mitigation. The studies were designed to explore the potential for quantum computation in Lattice Gauge Theory for Time Evolution Dynamics and ground state calculations, as well as to see how effectively superconducting quantum devices from IBM could be used to simulate physical systems.
