摘要
Error mitigation stands between variational quantum algorithms and useful results on today's noisy hardware, yet in practice a mitigation method is usually chosen once, by hand, and applied unchanged for the life of an experiment. This is a poor fit for quantum machine learning (QML), where the circuit and the noise drift as training proceeds, so the best strategy in one regime is often wrong in another. We present a generalized form of Adaptive Policy-Guided Error Mitigation (APGEM), which treats the choice of mitigation technique as an online decision made from an algorithm's own feedback. A single contextual-bandit controller observes signals any variational algorithm already produces, such as fidelity, entropy, reward or loss, and gradient behavior, and selects among Zero-Noise Extrapolation, Probabilistic Error Cancellation, Measurement Error Mitigation, Dynamical Decoupling, and circuit optimization per step. Because it depends only on this shared feedback interface, the framework applies unchanged across supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement, and hybrid quantum-classical learning. Evaluated on five paradigms across 80 algorithm-and-noise conditions, adaptive selection reaches 95.5% of an oracle that always picks the best technique and significantly outperforms all six fixed strategies (Friedman $χ^{2}=92.18$, $p\approx1.1\times10^{-17}$; pairwise Wilcoxon $p<4\times10^{-6}$). The learned policy is noise-aware: its favored technique shifts as depolarizing and readout error rise. On noise models from eight real IBM devices, APGEM tracks the oracle almost exactly (99.9% of oracle utility) at a flat cost of roughly $1.3\times10^{4}$ shots from three to eight qubits.
