Abstract
Noise poses a fundamental challenge to quantum information processing, with amplitude-damping (AD) noise being particularly detrimental. Preserving high-fidelity quantum systems therefore relies critically on effective error correction and purification methods. In this work, we introduce a novel approach for mitigating AD noise that can be applied to both state and channel purification. Our method achieves a substantial enhancement in the fidelity of affected states or channels while maintaining a low resource overhead, requiring only one or two ancilla qubits in combination with two Clifford gates, and exhibits a relatively high success probability. This approach provides a practical and scalable framework for addressing AD noise in realistic quantum systems.
