KODEX — KMIT: QMITIGATION

REAL quantum error mitigation — zero-noise extrapolation (ZNE, unitary folding) + readout-error mitigation on a real fusion quantum circuit (the KQUBIT H2 VQE state). Mitigation is the genuine NISQ tool TODAY; it recovers signal from noise, not a speedup.

Quantum's role in fusion is post-~2036</p><p><strong>Benchmark:</strong> **REAL error mitigation**: ZNE cuts H2 energy error 44.38→5.029 mHa (0.887 removed); readout TV 0.1472→0.0 — real NISQ tool today, role post-~2036</p><p>Part of KODEX, the Kronos Family of Codes — a benchmarked AI/ML fusion surrogate suite with calibrated uncertainty and an abstention gate (<code>predict(x) → (y, uncertainty, in_domain)</code>).
