| contents | Quantum error mitigation (QEM) provides a practical route for estimating reliable observables on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. Traditional QEM strategies, including zero-noise extrapolation (ZNE) and Clifford data regression (CDR), rely on noise scaling or global regression, and their performance is constrained by the exponential growth of the system degrees of freedom. We construct a graph-enhanced mitigation (GEM) framework, which incorporates physical information into the model representation. In this work, quantum circuits are encoded as attributed graphs. Hardware-level physical information is mapped to node and edge features: local noise parameters such as calibration parameters $T_1$, $T_2$, and readout errors are encoded at nodes, while coupling-related information such as two-qubit gate errors is encoded as edge features. Graph neural networks are used to model how errors propagate along the physical coupling structure and build up into non-local correlations. This allows the model to capture local interactions and part of the resulting non-local correlations across qubits. A dual-branch affine correction is applied to maintain consistency with physical constraints. Experiments on 10-qubit and 16-qubit random circuits executed on superconducting quantum processors show that GEM provides a level of accuracy comparable to CDR at small scales, while yielding lower mean absolute error and improved stability in zero-shot transfer to larger systems. Results of the traditional QEM strategy indicate that global regression methods remain effective in low-dimensional settings but become less reliable as system degrees of freedom grow. In contrast, GEM makes use of local physical structures to show better scalability and generalization, while preserving the overall error propagation patterns. This work provides a practical scalable approach to QEM for NISQ devices. |
