Time Series Prediction of Open Quantum System Dynamics by Transformer Neural Networks

Z. M. Wang, Lianao Wu, Zhao-Ming Wang

The dynamics of open quantum systems play a crucial role in quantum information science. However, obtaining numerically exact solutions for the Lindblad master equation is often computationally expensive. Recently, machine learning techniques have gained considerable attention for simulating open quantum system dynamics. In this paper, we propose a deep learning model based on time series prediction (TSP) to forecast the dynamical evolution of open quantum systems. We employ the positive operator-valued measure (POVM) approach to convert the density matrix of the system into a probability distribution and construct a TSP model based on Transformer neural networks. This model effectively captures the historical evolution patterns of the system and accurately predicts its future behavior. Our results show that the model achieves high-fidelity predictions of the system's evolution trajectory in both short- and long-term scenarios, and exhibits robust generalization under varying initial states and coupling strengths. Moreover, we successfully predicted the steady-state behavior of the system, further proving the practicality and scalability of the method.

Autoregressive Neural Network for Simulating Open Quantum Systems via a Probabilistic Formulation

Di Luo, Zhuo Chen, Juan Carrasquilla +1 more

The theory of open quantum systems lays the foundation for a substantial part of modern research in quantum science and engineering. Rooted in the dimensionality of their extended Hilbert spaces, the high computational complexity of simulating open quantum systems calls for the development of strategies to approximate their dynamics. In this Letter, we present an approach for tackling open quantum system dynamics. Using an exact probabilistic formulation of quantum physics based on positive operator-valued measure, we compactly represent quantum states with autoregressive neural networks; such networks bring significant algorithmic flexibility due to efficient exact sampling and tractable density. We further introduce the concept of string states to partially restore the symmetry of the autoregressive neural network and improve the description of local correlations. Efficient algorithms have been developed to simulate the dynamics of the Liouvillian superoperator using a forward-backward trapezoid method and find the steady state via a variational formulation. Our approach is benchmarked on prototypical one-dimensional and two-dimensional systems, finding results which closely track the exact solution and achieve higher accuracy than alternative approaches based on using Markov chain Monte Carlo method to sample restricted Boltzmann machines. Our Letter provides general methods for understanding quantum dynamics in various contexts, as well as techniques for solving high-dimensional probabilistic differential equations in classical setups.

Convolutional Neural Networks for Long Time Dissipative Quantum Dynamics

Luis E. Herrera Rodríguez, Alexei A. Kananenka

Exact numerical simulations of dynamics of open quantum systems often require immense computational resources. We demonstrate that a deep artificial neural network composed of convolutional layers is a powerful tool for predicting long-time dynamics of open quantum systems provided the preceding short-time evolution of a system is known. The neural network model developed in this work simulates long-time dynamics efficiently and accurately across different dynamical regimes from weakly damped coherent motion to incoherent relaxation. The model was trained on a data set relevant to photosynthetic excitation energy transfer and can be deployed to study long-lasting quantum coherence phenomena observed in light-harvesting complexes. Furthermore, our model performs well for the initial conditions different than those used in the training. Our approach reduces the required computational resources for long-time simulations and holds the promise for becoming a valuable tool in the study of open quantum systems.
