contents Qubit measurements in quantum devices involve various types of errors, including erroneous state determination, correlated preparation errors and measurement-induced leakage from the computational states. We propose a feedforward protocol to reduce readout-induced faults, applicable for qubits with errors biased between the different states, in settings like quantum error correction with repeated measurement cycles. The method consists of an adaptive readout sequence conditioned on each check qubit's readout result from the previous cycle, which is optimized for the expected measured state. Focusing on a simple realization of conditionally flipping (by an X gate) the state of check qubits before their measurement, we investigate the effect of such state-dependent errors using simulations in the setup of a low-density parity check code. We show that the suggested protocol can reduce both logical errors and decoding time, two important aspects of fault-tolerant quantum computations.
