Apply readout error mitigation to mid-circuit measurement
That's a very interesting question, I haven't thought about it before, thanks for that!
Now, the way I see this, you have 2 different potential paths to investigate.

Why does making a quantum circuit more noise resilient make it easier to simulate classically?
If your quantum circuit mitigates noise, it can also mitigate the approximations in a simulation. It can allow you to use a noisier more-approximate cheaper-to-run simulation.
Of course, the noise you ...

Is there a faster way to do real-time error mitigation in qiskit?
In general, measurement errors do not change on timescales as fast as you are implying here. The data for the readouts is populated once a day or so, and is quite good over that time frame. There ...
