Quantum entanglement acts as a crucial part in quantum computation and quantum information, hence quantifying unknown entanglement is an important task. Due to the fact that the amount of entanglement cannot be achieved directly by measuring any physical observables, it remains an open problem to quantify entanglement experimentally. In this work, we provide an effective way to quantify entanglement for the unknown quantum states via artificial neural networks. By choosing the expectation values of measurements as input features and the values of entanglement measures as labels, we train artificial neural network models to predict the entanglement for new quantum states accurately. Our method does not require the full information about unknown quantum states, which highlights the effectiveness and versatility of machine learning in exploring quantum entanglement.

Entanglement plays a pivotal role in numerous quantum applications, and as technology progresses, entanglement systems continue to expand. However, quantifying entanglement is a complex problem, particularly for multipartite quantum states. The currently available entanglement measures suffer from high computational complexity, and for unknown multipartite entangled states, complete information about the quantum state is often necessary, further complicating calculations. In this paper, we train neural networks to quantify unknown multipartite entanglement using input features based on squared entanglement (SE) and outcome statistics data produced by locally measuring target quantum states. By leveraging machine learning techniques to handle non-linear relations between outcome statistics and entanglement measurement SE, we achieve high-precision quantification of unknown multipartite entanglement states with a linear number of measurements, avoiding the need for global measurements and quantum state tomography. The proposed method exhibits robustness against noise and extends its applicability to pure and mixed states, effectively scaling to large-scale multipartite entanglement systems. The results of the experiment show that the predicted entanglement measures are very close to the actual values, which confirms the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Quantum entanglement is a key resource in quantum computing and quantum information processing tasks. However, its quantification remains a major challenge since it cannot be directly extracted from physical observables. To address this issue, we study a few machine-learning based models to estimate the amount of entanglement in two-qubit as well as three-qubit systems. We use measurement outcomes as the input features and entanglement measures as the training labels. Our models predict entanglement without requiring the full state information. This demonstrates the potential of machine learning as an effcient and powerful tool for characterizing quantum entanglement
Quantifying entanglement for quantum states whose density matrices are unknown is a difficult task, but also becomes more and more necessary because of the fast development of quantum engineering. Machine learning provides practical solutions to this fundamental problem, where one has to train a proper machine learning model to predict entanglement measures of unknown quantum states based on experimentally measurable data, say, moments of density matrices or correlation data produced by local measurements. In this paper, we compare the performance of these two different machine learning approaches systematically. Particularly, we first show that the approach based on moments enjoys a remarkable advantage over that based on correlation data, though the cost of measuring moments is much higher. Next, since correlation data is much easier to obtain experimentally, we try to better its performance by proposing a hybrid quantum-classical machine learning framework for this problem, where the key is to train optimal local measurements, or even optimal tensor products of single-qubit observables, to generate more informative correlation data. Our numerical simulations show that the new hybrid framework brings us comparable performance with the approach based on moments to quantify entanglement, and furthermore, it turns out that the new hybrid framework has a nice noise-resistant capability when handling realistic correlation data.
Abstract Quantifying entanglement measures for quantum states with unknown density matrices is a challenging task. Machine learning offers a new perspective to address this problem. By training machine learning models using experimentally measurable data, we can predict the target entanglement measures. In this study, we compare various machine learning models and find that the linear regression and stack models perform better than others. We investigate the model’s impact on quantum states across different dimensions and find that higher-dimensional quantum states yield better results. Additionally, we investigate which measurable data has better predictive power for target entanglement measures. Using correlation analysis and principal component analysis, we demonstrate that quantum moments exhibit a stronger correlation with coherent information among these data features.
Abstract Suppose we have an unknown multipartite quantum state, how can we experimentally find out whether it is genuine multipartite entangled or not? Recall that even for a bipartite quantum state whose density matrix is known, it is already NP-Hard to determine whether it is entangled or not. Therefore, it is hard to efficiently solve the above problem generally. However, since genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) is such a fundamental concept that plays a crucial role in many-body physics and quantum information processing tasks, finding realistic approaches to certify GME is undoubtedly necessary. In this work, we show that neural networks can provide a nice solution to this problem, where measurement statistics data produced by measuring involved quantum states with local measurement devices serve as input features of neural networks. By testing our models on many specific multipartite quantum states, we show that they can certify GME very accurately, even including some new results unknown before. We also exhibit a possible way to improve the efficiency of our models by reducing the size of features. Lastly, we show that our models enjoy remarkable robustness against flaws in measurement devices, implying that they are very experiment-friendly.
The quantification of the entanglement present in a physical system is of paramount importance for fundamental research and many cutting-edge applications. Now, achieving this goal requires either a priori knowledge on the system or very demanding experimental procedures such as full state tomography or collective measurements. Here, we demonstrate that, by using neural networks, we can quantify the degree of entanglement without the need to know the full description of the quantum state. Our method allows for direct quantification of the quantum correlations using an incomplete set of local measurements. Despite using undersampled measurements, we achieve a quantification error of up to an order of magnitude lower than the state-of-the-art quantum tomography. Furthermore, we achieve this result using networks trained using exclusively simulated data. Last, we derive a method based on a convolutional network input that can accept data from various measurement scenarios and perform, to some extent, independently of the measurement device.
