LTM Becomes First Global Systems Integrator to Publish AI-Powered Quantum Error Mitigation in IBM Catalog
LTM Limited (formerly LTIMindtree Limited), a Larsen & Toubro Group company, has announced that its proprietary AI-powered Quantum Error Mitigation capability, AI-QEM, is now available in the IBM Quantum Functions Catalog.
With this development, LTM becomes the first Global Systems Integrator (GSI) worldwide to publish a function in the IBM Quantum Functions Catalog.
About AI-QEM
AI-QEM is available as a circuit function that users of eligible IBM Quantum access plans can apply directly within their Qiskit workflows.
Quantum computers are inherently susceptible to noise and errors that can affect computational outcomes. While conventional error mitigation techniques often require additional circuit executions, more quantum processing time or auxiliary qubits, AI-QEM uses advanced AI models to learn and correct device-specific error patterns through classical post-processing.
This approach is designed to improve result accuracy without consuming extra QPU time, requiring repeated circuit executions or additional qubits, thereby helping reduce the cost and complexity of quantum experiments.
The capability has been validated on IBM Quantum computers across a range of circuit sizes and complexities, including experiments involving more than 100 qubits.
Industry Perspective
Scott Crowder, Vice President, IBM Quantum Adoption and Business Development, said the availability of LTM’s AI-QEM in the catalog reflects the growing role of ecosystem partners in expanding tools for the quantum community. He noted that the function will allow users to mitigate errors faster and with fewer resources while developing algorithms and applications.
LTM continues to work on practical quantum applications across industries, including quantum optimisation, hybrid quantum machine learning and quantum-safe security programmes.
