Implementation and verification of coherent error suppression using randomized compiling for Grover's algorithm on a trapped-ion device
An updated arXiv preprint reports an experimental implementation of randomized compiling on a trapped-ion quantum processor, applied to Grover's algorithm, to suppress coherent errors from control imprecision. The work includes verification that the method reduces coherent error in near-term quantum computations that do not use fault-tolerant error correction.

This could establish randomized compiling as a standard pre-processing step for trapped-ion quantum computers, increasing the success probability of small Grover search circuits on existing hardware within two years.
Randomized compiling converts coherent control errors into stochastic Pauli errors that are easier to mitigate. If the verified suppression holds across device calibrations, trapped-ion platform teams could integrate it into default compilation pipelines for near-term algorithm demonstrations.
