Oxford Quantum Circuits Releases Erado: An Open-Source Qiskit Simulator for Erasure Noise and Post-Selection
Oxford Quantum Circuits has released Erado, an open-source Qiskit simulator for erasure noise and post-selection, available through its QCaaS SDK. The tool lets researchers model erasure-aware noise and evaluate quantum error mitigation techniques. Accompanying research indicates post-selection can fully mitigate erasure noise when error rates are below 3.0%.

OQC could use Erado-derived erasure models to add erasure-aware post-selection to its superconducting QCaaS platform within two years, letting users salvage shots that would otherwise be discarded.
The simulator is already in OQC's SDK and the reported 3.0% threshold is within the error rates of current superconducting devices, so the main missing piece is hardware-level erasure detection exposed through the cloud; if OQC implements that, post-selection becomes a practical mitigation option without needing full error correction.
