| contents | Zero-noise extrapolation provides a practical means of suppressing gate errors in current noisy intermediate-scale quantum hardware. The accuracy of the zero-noise estimate depends sensitively on the fidelity of the assumed noise model to the actual error scaling. This work introduces a hybrid Gaussian-exponential extrapolation scheme tailored for quantum circuits with periodic structure, which are ubiquitous in quantum algorithms. Under Pauli diagonal errors, by constructing and analyzing an approximate Markov process for the transfer of Pauli operators, we prove a central limit theorem: the noise amplification factor weakly approaches a log-normal distribution, which motivates augmenting the standard exponential model with Gaussian variance corrections. The resulting model requires no prior noise characterization and applies directly to arbitrary periodic circuits. Performance is assessed on Trotterized Ising dynamics, random circuits, and Grover search algorithm using Qiskit noise simulators. For moderate to large circuit depths, the hybrid model yields measurable reductions in bias relative to previous extrapolation variants, indicating its utility for error mitigation on near-term quantum hardware. |
