Automatic differentiation is an invaluable feature of machine learning and quantum machine learning software libraries. In this work it is shown how quantum automatic differentiation can be used to solve the condensed-matter problem of computing fidelity susceptibility, a quantity whose value may be indicative of a phase transition in a system. Results are presented using simulations including hardware noise for small instances of the transverse-field Ising model, and a number of optimizations that can be applied are highlighted. Error mitigation (zero-noise extrapolation) is applied within the autodifferentiation framework to a number of gradient values required for computation of fidelity susceptibility and a related quantity, the second derivative of the energy. Such computations are found to be highly sensitive to the additional statistical noise incurred by the error mitigation method
