Fig. 1. Illustration of the NISQ complexity class.
a Complexity classes: NISQ contains problems that can be solved by classical computation (BPP), and some problems that can be solved by quantum computation (BQP). b NISQ algorithm: An algorithm in the complexity class NISQ is modeled by a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm, where a classical computer can specify the circuit to run on a noisy quantum device and the device would run a noisy version of the circuit and return a random classical bitstring obtained from noisy measurement.
