contents Due to the numerous limitations of current quantum devices, quantum error mitigation methods become potential solutions for realizing practical quantum applications in the near term. Zero-Noise Extrapolation (ZNE) and Clifford Data Regression (CDR) are two promising quantum error mitigation methods. Based on the characteristics of these two methods, we propose a new method named extrapolated CDR (eCDR). To benchmark our method, we embed eCDR into a quantum application, specifically multi-layer quantum routing. Quantum routers direct a quantum signal from one input path to a quantum superposition of multiple output paths and are considered important elements of future quantum networks. Multi-layer quantum routers extend the scalability of quantum networks by allowing for further superposition of paths. We benchmark the performance of multi-layer quantum routers implemented on current superconducting quantum devices instantiated with the ZNE, CDR, and eCDR methods. Our experimental results show that the new eCDR method significantly outperforms ZNE and CDR for the 2-layer quantum router. Our work highlights how new mitigation methods built from different components of pre-existing methods, and designed with a core application in mind, can lead to significant performance enhancements.
