Dynamical learning of non-Markovian quantum dynamics

Abstract

We study the non-Markovian dynamics of an open quantum system with machine learning. The observable physical quantities and their evolutions are generated by using the neural network. After the pre-training is completed, we fix the weights in the subsequent processes thus do not need the further gradient feedback. We find that the dynamical properties of physical quantities obtained by the dynamical learning are better than those obtained by the learning of Hamiltonian and time evolution operator. The dynamical learning can be applied to other quantum many-body systems, non-equilibrium statistics and random processes.

Neural network solution of non-Markovian quantum state diffusion and operator construction of quantum stochastic process

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

Non-Markovian quantum state diffusion provides a wavefunction-based framework for modeling open quantum systems. In this work, we introduce a novel machine learning approach based on an operator construction algorithm. This algorithm employs a neural network as a universal generator to reconstruct the stochastic time evolution operator from an ensemble of quantum trajectories. Unlike conventional machine learning methods that approximate time-dependent wavefunctions or expectation values, our operator-based approach offers broader applicability to stochastic processes. We benchmark the algorithm on the spin-boson model across diverse spectral densities, demonstrating its accuracy. Furthermore, we showcase the operator's utility in calculating absorption spectra and reconstructing reduced density matrices at extended timescales. These results establish a new paradigm for the application of machine learning in quantum dynamics.

Machine Learning Non-Markovian Quantum Dynamics

I. A. Luchnikov, Stephen Vintskevich, D. A. Grigoriev +1 more

Machine learning methods have proved to be useful for the recognition of patterns in statistical data. The measurement outcomes are intrinsically random in quantum physics, however, they do have a pattern when the measurements are performed successively on an open quantum system. This pattern is due to the system-environment interaction and contains information about the relaxation rates as well as non-Markovian memory effects. Here we develop a method to extract the information about the unknown environment from a series of projective single-shot measurements on the system (without resorting to the process tomography). The method is based on embedding the non-Markovian system dynamics into a Markovian dynamics of the system and the effective reservoir of finite dimension. The generator of Markovian embedding is learned by the maximum likelihood estimation. We verify the method by comparing its prediction with an exactly solvable non-Markovian dynamics. The developed algorithm to learn unknown quantum environments enables one to efficiently control and manipulate quantum systems.

Non-Markovian Dynamical Maps: Numerical Processing of Open Quantum Trajectories

Javier Cerrillo, Jianshu Cao

The initial stages of the evolution of an open quantum system encode the key information of its underlying dynamical correlations, which in turn can predict the trajectory at later stages. We propose a general approach based on non-Markovian dynamical maps to extract this information from the initial trajectories and compress it into non-Markovian transfer tensors. Assuming time-translational invariance, the tensors can be used to accurately and efficiently propagate the state of the system to arbitrarily long time scales. The non-Markovian transfer tensor method (TTM) demonstrates the coherent-to-incoherent transition as a function of the strength of quantum dissipation and predicts the noncanonical equilibrium distribution due to the system-bath entanglement. TTM is equivalent to solving the Nakajima-Zwanzig equation and, therefore, can be used to reconstruct the dynamical operators (the system Hamiltonian and memory kernel) from quantum trajectories obtained in simulations or experiments. The concept underlying the approach can be generalized to physical observables with the goal of learning and manipulating the trajectories of an open quantum system.

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.

Deep Learning of Quantum Many-Body Dynamics via Random Driving

Naeimeh Mohseni, Thomas Fösel, Lingzhen Guo +2 more

Neural networks have emerged as a powerful way to approach many practical problems in quantum physics. In this work, we illustrate the power of deep learning to predict the dynamics of a quantum many-body system, where the training is based purely on monitoring expectation values of observables under random driving . The trained recurrent network is able to produce accurate predictions for driving trajectories entirely different than those observed during training. As a proof of principle, here we train the network on numerical data generated from spin models, showing that it can learn the dynamics of observables of interest without needing information about the full quantum state. This allows our approach to be applied eventually to actual experimental data generated from a quantum many-body system that might be open, noisy, or disordered, without any need for a detailed understanding of the system. This scheme provides considerable speedup for rapid explorations and pulse optimization. Remarkably, we show the network is able to extrapolate the dynamics to times longer than those it has been trained on, as well as to the infinite-system-size limit.
