Abstract
Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize computing for certain classes of problems with exponential scaling, and yet this potential is accompanied by significant sensitivity to noise, requiring sophisticated error correction and mitigation strategies. Here we simulate the relaxations of stationary states at different frequencies on several quantum computers to obtain unique spectroscopic fingerprints of their noise. Response functions generated from the data reveal a clear signature of non-Markovian dynamics, demonstrating that each of the quantum computers acts as a non-Markovian bath with a unique colored noise profile. The study suggest that noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers (NISQ) provide a built-in noisy bath that can be analyzed from their simulation of closed quantum systems with the results potentially being harnessed for error mitigation or open-system simulation.
