Abstract

Quantum entanglement is a crucial resource in quantum information processing, yet its efficient, scalable and robust classification in multipartite systems remains theoretically challenging. Although supervised machinelearning has been applied to this task, most existing methods still suffer from high measurement costs, computational consumption, and weak noise robustness. In this work, by incorporating multipartite uncertainty relations as prior guidance, we propose a neural network approach to classify distinct Stochastic Local Operations and Classical Communication (SLOCC) multipartite entanglement classes based on states sampled from their local unitary (LU) orbits. Compared with traditional techniques, our method reduces experimental measurement-resource requirements and computational overhead, showing high adaptability to large-scale systems. The classification accuracy of our method reaches 99.5% in 20-qubit systems. The numerical validation is performed on states generated by random LU transformations, which preserve the SLOCC class. Within this setting, the proposed method offers strong effectiveness, scalability, and robustness for multipartite entanglement classification.

Entanglement classification of arbitrary three-qubit states via artificial neural networks

Jorawar Singh, Vaishali Gulati, Kavita Dorai +1 more

We design and successfully implement artificial neural networks (ANNs) to detect and classify entanglement for three-qubit systems using limited state features. The overall design principle is a feed forward neural network (FFNN), with the output layer consisting of a single neuron for the detection of genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) and six neurons for the classification problem corresponding to six entanglement classes under stochastic local operations and classical communication (SLOCC). The models are trained and validated on a simulated dataset of randomly generated states. We achieve high accuracy, around 98%, for detecting GME as well as for SLOCC classification. Remarkably, we find that feeding only 7 diagonal elements of the density matrix into the ANN results in an accuracy greater than 94% for both the tasks, showcasing the strength of the method in reducing the required input data while maintaining efficient performance. Reducing the feature set makes it easier to apply ANN models for entanglement classification, particularly in resource-constrained environments, without sacrificing accuracy. The performance of the ANN models was further evaluated by introducing white noise into the data set, and the results indicate that the models are robust and are able to well tolerate noise.

Variational quantum entanglement classification discrimination

Shaoxuan Wang, Yingtong Shen, Xinjian Liu +2 more

With the rapid development of quantum technology, understanding the properties of entanglement states has become an urgent task.Various classifications of entanglement states have been proposed to cater to distinct quantum applications, highlighting the significance of entanglement classification. This paper presents a variational quantum classifier for entanglement classification discrimination which can effectively reduce the measurement resources, specifically for four-qubit entanglement equivalence classifications under SLOCC (Stochastic Local Operations and Classical Communication). Through training one-to-one and one-to-many models, our proposed method achieves excellent performance in the entanglement classification. We further investigate the impact of parameterized quantum circuit layers and various measurement settings on the classifier’s performance. Considering the inherent noise present in near-term quantum computers, we also analyze how noise affects the model’s performance. Moreover, we explore the classifier’s capabilities in the context of multi-qubit entanglement systems. Numerical simulations demonstrate that high-precision entanglement classification tasks can be accomplished with shallow circuit depths, and the model exhibits resilience to noise. Additionally, the results reveal the versatility and potential application of our proposed model in larger-scale quantum systems by effectively handling entanglement classification tasks involving an increased number of qubits.

Classifying multipartite continuous-variable entanglement structures through data-augmented neural networks

Xiaoting Gao, Mingsheng Tian, Feng-Xiao Sun +3 more

Neural networks have emerged as a promising paradigm for quantum information processing, yet they confront the challenge of generating training datasets with sufficient size and rich diversity, which is particularly acute when dealing with multipartite quantum systems. For instance, in the task of classifying different structures of multipartite entanglement in continuous-variable systems, it is necessary to simulate a large number of infinite-dimensional state data that can cover as many types of non-Gaussian states as possible. Here we develop a data-augmented neural network to address this task with homodyne measurement data. A quantum data augmentation method based on classical data processing techniques and quantum physical principles is proposed to efficiently enhance network performance. By testing on randomly generated tripartite and quadripartite states, we demonstrate that the network can infer the entanglement structure among the various partitions, and the accuracies are substantially improved with data augmentation. Our approach allows us to further extend the use of data-driven machine learning techniques to more complex tasks of learning quantum systems encoded in a large Hilbert space. Gao et al. introduce a quantum data augmentation method to enable neural networks to classify multipartite entanglement structures in infinite-dimensional systems, substantially improving accuracy and reducing the data acquisition costs that typically limit training.

Towards Sample Efficient Entanglement Classification for 3 and 4 Qubit Systems: A Tailored CNN-BiLSTM Approach

Qian Sun, Yuedong Sun, Yu Hu +3 more

Accurate classification of multipartite entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems is crucial for advancing quantum communication and information processing. However, conventional methods are resource-intensive, and even many machine-learning-based approaches necessitate large training datasets, creating a significant experimental bottleneck for data acquisition. To address this challenge, we propose a hybrid neural network architecture integrating Convolutional and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory networks (CNN-BiLSTM). This design leverages CNNs for local feature extraction and BiLSTMs for sequential dependency modeling, enabling robust feature learning from minimal training data. We investigate two fusion paradigms: Architecture 1 (flattening-based) and Architecture 2 (dimensionality-transforming). When trained on only 100 samples, Architecture 2 maintains classification accuracies exceeding 90% for both 3-qubit and 4-qubit systems, demonstrating rapid loss convergence within tens of epochs. Under full-data conditions (400 000 samples), both architectures achieve accuracies above 99.97%. Comparative benchmarks reveal that our CNN-BiLSTM models, especially Architecture 2, consistently outperform standalone CNNs, BiLSTMs, and MLPs in low-data regimes, albeit with increased training time. These results demonstrates that the tailored CNN-BiLSTM fusion significantly alleviates experimental data acquisition burden, offering a practical pathway toward scalable entanglement verification in complex quantum systems.

Quantum State Separability Identification via Neural Networks

Zhenhua Zhu, Chong‐Qiang Ye, Guo-Lin Lv +4 more

ABSTRACT Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource in quantum information science. In recent years, many researchers have explored the use of machine learning techniques to detect entanglement. However, most existing models still suffer from limited classification and generalization capability. To address these issues, we construct a randomly generated dataset of three‐qubit quantum states covering fully separable, bi‐separable, and genuine entangled states, and train a complex‐valued convolutional neural network to classify these three classes. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed model accurately identifies all separability classes and exhibits strong generalization performance not only on the constructed dataset but also on various noisy quantum states, including noisy GHZ, W, GHZ‐W mixed, and hypergraph states, achieving an overall accuracy of 98.6%. In addition, we test the ability of the proposed model to identify certain positive‐partial‐transpose entangled states (PPTES), as well as quantum states that undergo local unitary (LU) operations. All of these results indicate that the proposed model can accurately identify the separability of most three‐qubit quantum states and can also serve as a reliable tool, providing highly probable and accurate predictions when theoretical methods fail.
