There are considerable obstacles against realizing practical quantum computing: a significant amount of computation errors and the restricted qubit count. As a unified method of noise-agnostic quantum error mitigation (QEM) methods, i.e., the quantum subspace expansion and virtual purification, a generalized quantum subspace expansion (GSE) has recently been proposed that is significantly robust against stochastic and coherent errors. However, GSE requires entangled measurements between copies of the quantum states, which is a significant drawback under the current situation of the restricted number of qubits and their connectivity. In this work, we propose a resource-efficient implementation of GSE, which we name "Dual-GSE", circumventing significant overheads of state copies by constructing an ansatz of error-mitigated quantum states via dual-state purification. Remarkably, Dual-GSE can further simulate larger quantum systems beyond the size of available quantum hardware with a suitable ansatz construction inspired by divide-and-conquer methods that forge entanglement classically. This also significantly reduces the measurement overhead because we only need to measure subsystems' Pauli operators. The proposed method is demonstrated by a numerical simulation of the eight-qubit transverse-field Ising model, showing that our method estimates the ground state energy with high precision under gate noise with low mitigation overhead and practical sampling cost.
