  We present a scheme for speeding up quantum measurement. The scheme builds on
previous protocols that entangle the system to be measured with ancillary
systems. In the idealised situation of perfect entangling operations and no
decoherence, it gives an exact space-time trade-off meaning the readout time
reduces linearly with the number of ancilla. We verify this scheme is robust
against experimental imperfections through numerical modelling of gate noise
and readout errors, and under certain circumstances our scheme can even lead to
better than linear improvement in the speed of measurement with the number of
systems measured. This hardware-agnostic approach is broadly applicable to a
range of quantum technology platforms and offers a route to accelerate
mid-circuit measurement as required for effective quantum error correction.
