contents Programmable optical tweezer arrays of molecules are an emerging platform for quantum simulation and quantum information science. For these applications, reducing and mitigating errors that arise during initial state preparation and subsequent evolution remain major challenges. In this paper, we present work on site-resolved detection of internal state errors and quantum erasures, which are qubit errors with known locations. First, using a new site-resolved detection scheme, we demonstrate robust and enhanced tweezer array preparation fidelities. This enables creating molecular arrays with low defect rates, opening the door to high-fidelity simulation of quantum many-body systems. Second, for the first time in molecules, we demonstrate mid-circuit detection of erasures using a composite detection scheme that minimally affects error-free qubits. We also demonstrate mid-circuit conversion of blackbody-induced errors into detectable erasures. Our demonstration of erasure conversion, which has been shown to significantly reduce overheads for fault-tolerant quantum error correction, could be useful for quantum information processing in molecular tweezer arrays.
