LTM puts an AI error-fixing tool in IBM's quantum catalog, and claims a first

LTM, a technology services company with a quantum practice, has made its AI-powered Quantum Error Mitigation tool, AI-QEM, available in the IBM Quantum Functions Catalog, and says it is the first global systems integrator to publish a function there 2

What the tool does

Quantum computers make errors as they run, and fixing them usually costs time or hardware. LTM says the AI models in AI-QEM learn a given device's error patterns and correct them through classical post-processing, a claim about how the tool works 2

. Users, the company says, get more accurate results without extra quantum processor time, repeated circuit runs or additional qubits 2

. The tool works as a circuit function inside Qiskit workflows, for users on eligible IBM Quantum access plans 2

The company says it validated the tool on IBM Quantum machines across a range of circuit sizes, including experiments with more than 100 qubits 2

Not the only tool of its kind

The catalog, an ecosystem of partner-built quantum software services, already hosts error mitigation tools from at least three other providers: Q-CTRL, Qedma and Algorithmiq 1

LTM frames the listing as a milestone that makes error mitigation faster and cheaper for quantum users 2

What has not been shown

The efficiency case rests on the company's own testing, with no independent benchmark to back it 1

. The claim to be the first global systems integrator with a function in the catalog is likewise the company's own assertion 2

. Neither the company nor IBM has published accuracy figures for the tool, or comparisons with the error mitigation methods already sold in the same catalog 1
