Abstract

The accurate (or even approximate) solution of the equations that govern the dynamics of dissipative quantum systems remains a challenging task in quantum science. While several algorithms have been designed to solve those equations with different degrees of flexibility, they rely mainly on highly expensive iterative schemes. Most recently, deep neural networks have been used for quantum dynamics, but current architectures are highly dependent on the physics of the particular system and usually limited to population dynamics. Here we introduce an artificial-intelligence-based surrogate model that solves dissipative quantum dynamics by parametrizing quantum propagators as Fourier neural operators, which we train using both data set and physics-informed loss functions. Compared with conventional algorithms, our quantum neural propagator avoids time-consuming iterations and provides a universal superoperator that can be used to evolve any initial quantum state for arbitrarily long times. To illustrate the wide applicability of the approach, we employ our quantum neural propagator to compute the population dynamics and time-correlation functions of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex.

A non-Markovian neural quantum propagator and its application in the simulation of ultrafast nonlinear spectra

Jiaji Zhang, Lipeng Chen

The accurate solution of dissipative quantum dynamics plays an important role in the simulation of open quantum systems. Here, we propose a machine learning-based universal solver for the hierarchical equations of motion, one of the most widely used approaches which takes into account non-Markovian effects and nonperturbative system-environment interactions in a numerically exact manner. We develop a neural quantum propagator model by utilizing the neural network architecture, which avoids time-consuming iterations and can be used to evolve any initial quantum state for arbitrarily long times. To demonstrate the efficacy of our model, we apply it to the simulation of population dynamics and linear and two-dimensional spectra of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex.

Neural quantum propagators for driven-dissipative quantum dynamics

Jiaji Zhang, Carlos L. Benavides-Riveros, Lipeng Chen

Describing the dynamics of strong-laser driven open quantum systems is a very challenging task that requires the solution of highly involved equations of motion. While machine learning techniques are being applied with some success to simulate the time evolution of individual quantum states, their use to approximate time-dependent operators (that can evolve various states) remains largely unexplored. In this work, we develop driven (NQP), a universal neural network framework that solves driven-dissipative quantum dynamics by approximating propagators rather than wave functions or density matrices. NQP can handle arbitrary initial quantum states, adapt to various external fields, and simulate long-time dynamics, even when trained on far shorter time windows. Furthermore, by appropriately configuring the external fields, our trained NQP can be transferred to systems governed by different Hamiltonians. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by studying the spin-boson and the three-state transition Gamma models.

QD3SET-1: a database with quantum dissipative dynamics datasets

Arif Ullah, Luis E. Herrera Rodríguez, Pavlo O. Dral +1 more

Simulations of the dynamics of dissipative quantum systems utilize many methods such as physics-based quantum, semiclassical, and quantum-classical as well as machine learning-based approximations, development and testing of which requires diverse data sets. Here we present a new database QD3SET-1 containing eight data sets of quantum dynamical data for two systems of broad interest, spin-boson (SB) model and the Fenna–Matthews–Olson (FMO) complex, generated with two different methods solving the dynamics, approximate local thermalizing Lindblad master equation (LTLME) and highly accurate hierarchy equations of motion (HEOM). One data set was generated with the SB model which is a two-level quantum system coupled to a harmonic environment using HEOM for 1,000 model parameters. Seven data sets were collected for the FMO complex of different sizes (7- and 8-site monomer and 24-site trimer with LTLME and 8-site monomer with HEOM) for 500–879 model parameters. Our QD3SET-1 database contains both population and coherence dynamics data and part of it has been already used for machine learning-based quantum dynamics studies

Toward quantum-aware machine learning: Improved prediction of quantum dissipative dynamics via complex valued neural networks

Muhammad Atif, Arif Ullah, Ming Yang

Accurately modeling quantum dissipative dynamics remains challenging due to environmental complexity and non-Markovian memory effects. Although machine learning provides a promising alternative to conventional simulation techniques, most existing models employ real-valued neural networks (RVNNs) that inherently mismatch the complex-valued nature of quantum mechanics. By decoupling the real and imaginary parts of the density matrix, RVNNs can obscure essential amplitude-phase correlations, compromising physical consistency. Here, we introduce complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) as a physics-consistent framework for learning quantum dissipative dynamics. CVNNs operate directly on complex-valued inputs, preserve the algebraic structure of quantum states, and naturally encode quantum coherences. Through numerical benchmarks on the spin-boson model and few variants of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex, we demonstrate that CVNNs outperform RVNNs in convergence speed, training stability, and physical fidelity-including significantly improved trace conservation and Hermiticity. These advantages increase with system size and coherence complexity, establishing CVNNs as a robust, scalable, quantum-aware classical approach for simulating open quantum systems in the pre-fault-tolerant quantum era.

MLQD: A package for machine learning-basedquantum dissipative dynamics

Arif Ullah, Pavlo O. Dral

Machine learning has emerged as a promising paradigm to study the quantum dissipative dynamics of open quantum systems. To facilitate the use of our recently published ML-based approaches for quantum dissipative dynamics, here we present an open-source Python package MLQD (https://github.com/Arif-PhyChem/MLQD), which currently supports the three ML-based quantum dynamics approaches: (1) the recursive dynamics with kernel ridge regression (KRR) method, (2) the non-recursive artificial-intelligence-based quantum dynamics (AIQD) approach and (3) the blazingly fast one-shot trajectory learning (OSTL) approach, where both AIQD and OSTL use the convolutional neural networks (CNN). This paper describes the features of the MLQD package, the technical details, optimization of hyperparameters, visualization of results, and the demonstration of the MLQD's applicability for two widely studied systems, namely the spin-boson model and the Fenna--Matthews--Olson (FMO) complex. To make MLQD more user-friendly and accessible, we have made it available on the XACS cloud computing platform (https://XACScloud.com) via the interface to the MLatom package (http://MLatom.com).

Dynamic analysis of shortcut to adiabaticity based on physical information neural network

Liu Ming, Siqi Zhang, Hong Li

A quantum shortcut to adiabaticity scheme based on physics-informed neural networks is proposed in this work. Compared with traditional shortcut to adiabaticity technology, our method innovatively integrates machine learning methods by employing parameterized physics-informed neural networks to solve parameterized differential equations. The neural networks serve as an approximating function for quantum adiabatic evolution processes, while incorporating parameter-dependent differential equations and various physical constraints as components of the loss function. Through networks training, we effectively simulate quantum system dynamics and derive the driving control field for population inversion. Numerical simulations show that the quantum system can achieve rapid population inversion within significantly reduced time while maintaining high fidelity and exceptional robustness against parameter fluctuations. The neural networks exhibit remarkable computational capabilities, particularly suitable for generating control functions in complex quantum systems. Compared with conventional counter-diabatic driving and transitionless quantum driving methods, this PINN-based framework not only achieves better control performance but also provides the improved practicality for experimental implementations. The success of this method demonstrates its promising applications in quantum control tasks, including but not limited to quantum state preparation, quantum gate optimization, and adiabatic quantum computing acceleration.
