Abstract

We develop machine learning models for the automated characterization of quantum noise spectroscopy for non-Hermitian two-level systems. We use the Random Forest, Support Vector, and Feedforward Neural Network regression algorithms to perform a highly accurate regression of the two-level system-bath coupling strength. High accuracy Ohmicity classification was implemented to provide a complete characterization of the spectral density function. We define a time-averaged trace-distance metric to feed the machine learning algorithms, which, together with numerically exact populations as inputs, produce a highly accurate non-Markovian regression spanning the transition from fast to slow baths and from weak to strong coupling regimes of the interaction. The dynamics database of the non-Hermitian systems has been built up within the independent spin-boson and pure dephasing model.

Machine learning-enhanced characterisation of open quantum dynamics

Jessica Barr

Spectral densities encode essential information that characterises the interaction between a system and its environment in an open-quantum system problem. This information is crucial for determining the system's dynamics. In this work, we leverage the potential of machine learning techniques to reconstruct the features of the environment. Specifically, we show that, given the time evolution of a system observable, an artificial neural network can infer the main features of the spectral density. Firstly, for relevant examples of exactly solvable and weakly-coupled spin-boson models, we demonstrate that the neural network can classify the Ohmicity parameter of the environment as either Ohmic, sub-Ohmic, or super-Ohmic, with high accuracy, effectively distinguishing between different forms of dissipation. Additionally, we extend our approach to a regression task, where the neural network accurately predicts continuous values of the Ohmicity parameter, the coupling strength and the cut-off frequency, providing a comprehensive characterisation of the spectral density. Furthermore, to address scenarios beyond the weak coupling regime, we employ the reaction coordinate mapping. For a dissipative spin-boson model with a structured spectral density comprising one, two, or three Lorentzian peaks, we demonstrate that a neural network can classify the spectral density based on the number of peaks and accurately predict their positions. The methodology developed in this thesis, along with the case studies analysed, demonstrates the effectiveness of machine learning techniques for characterising environments with arbitrary spectral densities across a broad range of coupling regimes.

Noise classification in three-level quantum networks by Machine Learning

Shreyasi Mukherjee, Dario Penna, Fabio Cirinnà +4 more

Abstract We investigate a machine learning based classification of noise acting on a small quantum network with the aim of detecting spatial or multilevel correlations, and the interplay with Markovianity. We control a three-level system by inducing coherent population transfer exploiting different pulse amplitude combinations as inputs to train a feedforward neural network. We show that supervised learning can classify different types of classical dephasing noise affecting the system. Three non-Markovian (quasi-static correlated, anti-correlated and uncorrelated) and Markovian noises are classified with more than 99% accuracy. On the contrary, correlations of Markovian noise cannot be discriminated with our method. Our approach is robust to statistical measurement errors and retains its effectiveness for physical measurements where only a limited number of samples is available making it very experimental-friendly. Our result paves the way for classifying spatial correlations of noise in quantum architectures.

Machine learning classification of non-Markovian noise disturbing quantum dynamics

Stefano Martina, Stefano Gherardini, Filippo Caruso

Abstract In this paper machine learning and artificial neural network models are proposed for the classification of external noise sources affecting a given quantum dynamics. For this purpose, we train and then validate support vector machine, multi-layer perceptron and recurrent neural network models with different complexity and accuracy, to solve supervised binary classification problems. As a result, we demonstrate the high efficacy of such tools in classifying noisy quantum dynamics using simulated data sets from different realizations of the quantum system dynamics. In addition, we show that for a successful classification one just needs to measure, in a sequence of discrete time instants, the probabilities that the analysed quantum system is in one of the allowed positions or energy configurations. Albeit the training of machine learning models is here performed on synthetic data, our approach is expected to find application in experimental schemes, as e.g. for the noise benchmarking of noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.

Supervised Machine Learning for Predicting Open Quantum System Dynamics and Detecting Non-Markovian Memory Effects

Ali Abu-Nada, Subhashish Banerjee

We present a \emph{novel} and scalable supervised machine learning framework to predict open-quantum system dynamics and detect non-Markovian memory using only local ancilla measurements. A system qubit is coherently coupled to an ancilla via a symmetric XY Hamiltonian; the ancilla interacts with a noisy environment and is the only qubit we measure. A feedforward neural network, trained on short sliding windows of supplementary data from the past, forecasts the observable system $\langle Z_{(S)}(t)\rangle$ without state tomography or knowledge of the bath. To quantify memory, we introduce a normalized revival-based metric that counts upward 'turn-backs' in \emph{predicted} $\langle Z_{(S)}(t)\rangle$ and reports the fraction of evaluated samples that exceeds a small threshold. This bounded score provides an interpretable, model-independent indicator of non-Markovianity. We demonstrate the method on two representative noise channels, non-unital amplitude damping and unital dephasing from random telegraph noise (RTN). Under matched conditions, the model accurately reproduces the dynamics and flags memory effects, with RTN exhibiting a larger normalized revival score than amplitude damping. Overall, the approach is experimentally realistic and readily extensible, enabling real-time, interpretable non-Markovian diagnostics from accessible local measurements.

Machine learning approach for quantum non-Markovian noise classification.

Stefano Martina, Stefano Gherardini, Filippo Caruso

In this paper, machine learning and artificial neural network models are proposed for quantum noise classification in stochastic quantum dynamics. For this purpose, we train and then validate support vector machine, multi-layer perceptron and recurrent neural network, models with different complexity and accuracy, to solve supervised binary classification problems. By exploiting the quantum random walk formalism, we demonstrate the high efficacy of such tools in classifying noisy quantum dynamics using data sets collected in a single realisation of the quantum system evolution. In addition, we also show that for a successful classification one just needs to measure, in a sequence of discrete time instants, the probabilities that the analysed quantum system is in one of the allowed positions or energy configurations, without any external driving. Thus, neither measurements of quantum coherences nor sequences of control pulses are required. Since in principle the training of the machine learning models can be performed a-priori on synthetic data, our approach is expected to find direct application in a vast number of experimental schemes and also for the noise benchmarking of the already available noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.

Estimating the degree of non-Markovianity using machine learning

F. F. Fanchini, Göktuğ Karpat, Daniel Z. Rossatto +2 more

In the last few years, the application of machine learning methods has become increasingly relevant in different fields of physics. One of the most significant subjects in the theory of open quantum systems is the study of the characterization of non-Markovian memory effects that emerge dynamically throughout the time evolution of open systems as they interact with their surrounding environment. Here we consider two well-established quantifiers of the degree of memory effects, namely, the trace distance and the entanglement-based measures of non-Markovianity. We demonstrate that using machine learning techniques, in particular, support vector machine algorithms, it is possible to estimate the degree of non-Markovianity in two paradigmatic open system models with high precision. Our approach can be experimentally feasible to estimate the degree of non-Markovianity, since it requires a single or at most two rounds of state tomography.
