Abstract

Modeling open quantum dynamics without full knowledge of the system Hamiltonian or noise model is a key challenge in quantum control and quantum state estimation. We introduce an Augmented Quantum Neural Ordinary Differential Equation (AQNODE) framework that learns quantum trajectories and dissipation parameters directly from partial continuous measurement data. By embedding the system into a latent space evolved via neural ODEs, AQNODE captures both observable and hidden non-Markovian dynamics with temporal smoothness and physical consistency. Our approach integrates weak measurement data to reconstruct qubit states and time-dependent decoherence rates, enabling accurate state prediction and parameter inference without explicit physical equations. Furthermore, we incorporate AQNODE-based feedback control techniques, including proportional-derivative and time-varying linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) strategies, to steer the quantum system toward target states in real time. Extensive numerical simulations demonstrate AQNODE's ability to generalize across system configurations, achieve low prediction errors, and perform robust quantum filtering and control. These results establish AQNODE as a scalable, differentiable, and experimentally compatible framework for real-time modeling and control of dissipative quantum systems.

Learning quantum dynamics with latent neural ordinary differential equations

Matthew Choi, Daniel Flam-Shepherd, Thi Ha Kyaw +1 more

The core objective of machine-assisted scientific discovery is to learn physical laws from experimental data without prior knowledge of the systems in question. In the area of quantum physics, making progress towards these goals is significantly more challenging due to the curse of dimensionality as well as the counterintuitive nature of quantum mechanics. Here we present the QNODE, a latent neural ordinary differential equation (ODE) trained on expectation values of closed and open-quantum-systems dynamics. It can learn to generate such measurement data and extrapolate outside of its training region that satisfies the von Neumann and time-local Lindblad master equations for closed and open quantum systems, respectively, in an unsupervised means. Furthermore, the QNODE rediscovers quantum-mechanical laws such as the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in a data-driven way, without any constraint or guidance. Additionally, we show that trajectories that are generated from the QNODE that are close in its latent space have similar quantum dynamics while preserving the physics of the training system.

Reconstruction of a Time-Dependent Quantum Hamiltonian Using Neural Differential Equations

A. S. Naumov, V.Yu. Popov

The problem of reconstructing an unknown time-dependent Hamiltonian of a two-level quantum system from its observed dynamics is considered. A method based on a neural network in the Neural ODE framework is proposed, where the continuous evolution of the quantum state is modeled by integrating the Schrodinger equation with a parametric Hamiltonian model implemented by the network. The input data consist of measured time series of the expectation values of Pauli operators for a qubit. The network is trained by minimizing the difference between the experimentally observed and simulated trajectories of quantum observables. Using the example of spin dynamics in a time-varying magnetic field, it is shown that the proposed approach allows accurate reconstruction of the parameters of the time-dependent Hamiltonian without interrupting the quantum evolution. The results demonstrate that the Neural ODE model provides continuous handling of the time parameter and robust reconstruction of system dynamics under conditions of limited data and noise.

Stabilization of Time-Varying Perturbed Quantum Systems via Reduced Filters

Weichao Liang, Daoyi Dong

In practical applications, quantum systems are inevitably subject to significant uncertainties, including unknown initial states, imprecise physical parameters, and unmodeled environmental noise, all of which pose major challenges to robust quantum feedback control. This paper proposes a feedback stabilization strategy based on a reduced quantum filter that achieves robustness against time-varying Hamiltonian perturbations and additional dissipative effects, without requiring prior knowledge of the initial state or exact system parameters. The proposed filter estimates only O(N) real variables corresponding to the diagonal elements of the system density matrix in a quantum non-demolition basis in contrast to the O(N^2) variables required by a full stochastic master equation, where N is the Hilbert space dimension. This dimensionality reduction substantially simplifies real-time computation and feedback implementation while preserving both convergence and robustness guarantees. Rigorous analysis further establishes global exponential stability of the target subspace. The results provide a scalable framework for robust and efficient measurement-based feedback control applicable to high-dimensional perturbed open quantum systems.

Lindbladian Learning with Neural Differential Equations

Timothy Heightman, Roman Aseguinolaza Gallo, Edward Jiang +3 more

Inferring the dynamical generator of a many-body quantum system from measurement data is essential for the verification, calibration, and control of quantum processors. When the system is open, this task becomes considerably harder than in the purely unitary case, because coherent and dissipative mechanisms can produce similar measurement statistics and long-time data can be insensitive to coherent couplings. Here we tackle this so-called Lindbladian learning problem of open-system characterisation with maximum-likelihood on Pauli measurements at multiple experimentally friendly \emph{transient} times, exploiting the richer information content of transient dynamics. To navigate the resulting non-convex likelihood loss-landscape, we augment the physical model neural differential-equation term, which is progressively removed during training to distil an interpretable Lindbladian solution. Our method reliably learns open-system dynamics across neutral-atom (with 2D connectivity) and superconducting Hamiltonians, as well as the Heisenberg XYZ, and PXP models on a spin-1/2 chain. For the dissipative part, we show robustness over phase noise, thermal noise, and their combination. Our algorithm can robustly infer these dissipative systems over noise-to-signal ratios spanning four orders of magnitude, and system sizes up to $N=6$ qubits with fewer than $5 \times 10^5$ shots.

Learning Quantum Operator Dynamics from Short-Time Data

Jinyang Li, Satoshi Iso, Shunji Matsuura +2 more

Real-time dynamics of quantum observables provide direct access to excitation spectra and correlation functions in quantum many-body systems, but currently available quantum devices are limited to short evolution times due to decoherence. We propose a neural ordinary differential equation (Neural ODE) framework with a physics-driven neural network to reconstruct long-time operator dynamics from short-time quantum data. By expanding observables in the Pauli basis and exploiting locality and symmetry constraints, the operator evolution is reduced to a tractable set of coefficients whose dynamics are learned from the measurement data. Applied to the Ising spin chain with mixed fields, the operator learning method accurately extrapolates its long-time correlation function and resolves its excitation spectrum. We validate the framework by collecting short-time data from IBM's superconducting quantum processor and successfully reconstruct the Fourier spectrum of an $N=8$ Ising spin chain with 5 times enhanced precision. Our results demonstrate a scalable and data-efficient strategy for extracting dynamical and spectral information from practical quantum hardware.
