contents Open quantum systems are central to quantum optics, condensed matter, and chemistry, yet their simulation remains challenging for both classical and near-term quantum hardware. In this work we implement and execute utility-scale quantum circuits that accurately reproduce the dissipative dynamics of interacting qubits. We consider a one-dimensional chain of many qubits weakly coupled to a common Markovian bath. The Markovian time evolution of the system is implemented through Trotterized evolution with the introduction of ancilla-assisted dissipative channels, including single-qubit and two-qubit dissipators to capture collective decay. Mid-circuit measurements, conditional gates, and hardware-aware transpilation significantly reduce circuit depth. We further implement a biased Clifford data regression (biased CDR), an error mitigation strategy that outperforms the uniform Cliffordization baseline and a variety of zero-noise extrapolation protocols. We execute large-scale quantum experiments of the dynamics of chains comprising up to 86 emitters on the IBM System Two \texttt{ibm\_basquecountry}. In order to do so, we use 129 total qubits (including ancillas), with the largest circuits contain about 8000 two-qubit gates. To validate these experiments we develop a classical Monte Carlo-Time-Evolving Block-Decimation (MC-TEBD) tensor-network method that incorporates reset operations through stochastic pure-state trajectories, obtaining very good agreement. The approach presented here opens a practical route for utility-scale quantum simulation of dissipative dynamics, enabled by dynamic circuits, targeted error mitigation, and tensor-network validation, and enables to tackle complex dynamics of systems such as quantum emitters in dissipative optical cavities.
