While quantum computers are expected to surpass their classical counterparts in the future, current devices are prone to high error rates. Methods to reduce the impact of these errors are crucial to enable reliable quantum computations. Quantum error mitigation can improve computational results significantly but rely on knowledge about the dominant types of error in the system. Noise models offer a means to represent these errors mathematically. Our research in this project focusses on constructing noise models and benchmarking their quality.
