Summary

Generalized Pauli checks mapped higher-dimensional errors to ancilla readouts and exceeded 97.5 percent mitigated fidelity in numerical tests.

The proposed check pairs extend Pauli Check Sandwiching from qubits to arbitrary-dimensional qudits with Heisenberg-Weyl operators. The authors prove that each modeled error maps to a distinct ancilla readout and validate the construction from dimension two through nine, reporting error-mitigated fidelities above 97.5 percent under simulated depolarizing noise. Hardware overhead and real-device behavior remain open engineering questions.

Why it matters
