Compared with traditional shortcut to adiabaticity technology, our method innovatively integrates machine learning methods by employing parameterized physics-informed neural networks to solve parameterized differential equations. The neural networks serve as an approximating function for quantum adiabatic evolution processes, while incorporating parameter-dependent differential equations and various physical constraints as components of the loss function. Through networks training, we effectively simulate quantum system dynamics and derive the driving control field for population inversion. Numerical simulations show that the quantum system can achieve rapid population inversion within significantly reduced time while maintaining high fidelity and exceptional robustness against parameter fluctuations. The neural networks exhibit remarkable computational capabilities, particularly suitable for generating control functions in complex quantum systems. Compared with conventional counter-diabatic driving and transitionless quantum driving methods, this PINN-based framework not only achieves better control performance but also provides the improved practicality for experimental implementations. The success of this method demonstrates its promising applications in quantum control tasks, including but not limited to quantum state preparation, quantum gate optimization, and adiabatic quantum computing acceleration.

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) represent a methodology that integrates physical equations into neural networks. By incorporating the residuals of physical equations as part of the loss function, PINNs enable the network to learn data features while simultaneously satisfying the constraints imposed by physical laws. The underlying principle of PINNs involves using optimization algorithms to iteratively update the network parameters until the value of a specified physics-informed loss function decreases to an acceptable level, thereby driving the network towards the solution of the differential equations. This approach is not merely a tool but serves as a bridge integrating scientific computing with artificial intelligence, offering novel paradigms for modeling and predicting complex systems. In this paper, we propose a non-Hermitian shortcut to adiabaticity (STA) scheme based on physics-informed neural networks. We utilize the physics-informed neural networks to solve parameterized differential equations, employing the neural networks as an approximating function for the quantum adiabatic evolution process. This provides an interpretable and end-to-end framework (termed STAPINNs) for control-field optimization, distinct from traditional gradient-based approaches like gradient ascent pulse engineering (GRAPE), which require pre-defined pulse parameterization. The parameterized differential equations, along with various physical constraints, are incorporated into the network's loss function. Training the networks allows them to fit the quantum system's evolution process and obtain the driving control function for population inversion. Compared to conventional STA techniques, our approach introduces machine learning into non-Hermitian quantum systems, enabling highly robust and high-fidelity population transfer. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms traditional STA protocols under dissipative conditions, achieving fidelities above 0.99 even in the presence of substantial decoherence. Moreover, the framework demonstrates strong generalization across wide parameter ranges and is inherently scalable to multi-level and many-body systems due to the mesh-free, high-dimensional handling capability of PINNs. Neural networks possess strong computational capabilities suitable for generating driving control functions in complex systems, and are equally applicable to non-Hermitian STA techniques. The STAPINNs framework not only enhances control flexibility but also provides a powerful tool for optimizing quantum operations in open and noisy systems.
We propose a physics-informed neural network (PINN) scheme for designing shortcuts to adiabaticity in a three-level non-Hermitian quantum system. The PINN is used to solve an inverse control problem in which the state amplitudes and the auxiliary driving field are learned simultaneously from the Schrödinger residual, the initial and target population constraints and a probability conservation constraint on the control pulse. The learned compensation field counteracts the loss of the intermediate state and enables high-fidelity population inversion in an open-system setting. Importantly, the imposed probability conservation is treated as an auxiliary constraint along the learned trajectory rather than as an intrinsic property of the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. Under this constrained evolution, the Hamiltonian expectation value evaluated on the obtained state remains real within numerical accuracy. Numerical simulations and independent propagation with the fitted control field verify the population inversion and exhibit strong generalization capability over a range of coupling strengths and dissipation rates, as verified by retraining the network independently for each parameter set. The results demonstrate that PINNs provide a flexible inverse design tool for non-Hermitian shortcut to adiabaticity protocols when the governing dynamics and physical constraints are explicitly incorporated into the loss function.
This study introduces a quantum-accelerated framework that integrates quantum optimization with physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to solve PDEs more efficiently. By leveraging the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), the proposed framework enhances the initialization and boundary parameter optimization of PINNs, addressing key challenges such as slow convergence and high computational cost. The hybrid approach combines the data efficiency and physical constraint embedding capabilities of PINNs with the computational advantages of quantum optimization, enabling faster and more accurate solutions for complex PDEs. The framework was validated using the Shuhao Cao PDE dataset, demonstrating significant improvements in training efficiency and accuracy compared to traditional numerical solvers and classical PINNs. Experimental results highlight that quantum optimization effectively accelerates convergence by optimizing initial conditions and boundary constraints, reducing the computational overhead associated with classical training processes. Despite its reliance on emerging quantum hardware and the sensitivity of PINNs to hyperparameter selection, this approach offers a scalable and robust solution for solving high-dimensional PDEs. The findings underscore the potential of hybrid quantum-classical methods in advancing scientific computing, providing a foundation for future research in stochastic PDEs, multi-physics problems, and other real-world applications.
Recently, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have aroused an upsurge in the field of scientific computing including solving partial differential equations (PDEs), which convert the task of solving PDEs into an optimization challenge by adopting governing equations and definite conditions or observation data as loss functions. Essentially, the underlying logic of PINNs is based on the universal approximation and differentiability properties of classical neural networks (NNs). Recent research has revealed that quantum neural networks (QNNs), known as parameterized quantum circuits, also exhibit universal approximation and differentiability properties. This observation naturally suggests the application of PINNs to QNNs. In this work, we introduce a physics-informed quantum neural network (PI-QNN) by employing the QNN as the function approximator for solving forward and inverse problems of PDEs. The performance of the proposed PI-QNN is evaluated by various forward and inverse PDE problems. Numerical results indicate that PI-QNN demonstrates superior convergence over PINN when solving PDEs with exact solutions that are strongly correlated with trigonometric functions. Moreover, its accuracy surpasses that of PINN by two to three orders of magnitude, while requiring fewer trainable parameters. However, the computational time of PI-QNN exceeds that of PINN due to its operation on classical computers. This limitation may improve with the advent of commercial quantum computers in the future. Furthermore, we briefly investigate the impact of network architecture on PI-QNN performance by examining two different QNN architectures. The results suggest that increasing the number of trainable network layers can enhance the expressiveness of PI-QNN. However, an excessive number of data encoding layers significantly increases computational time, rendering the marginal gains in performance insufficient to compensate for the shortcomings in computational efficiency.
Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) sets the ultimate precision limit for parameter estimation and is therefore a central quantity in quantum metrology. In time-dependent many-body systems, however, maximizing QFI is a highly non-trivial task due to the combined effects of non-commutativity, control complexity, and the exponential growth of the Hilbert space. In this work, we present a physics-informed neural network (PINN) framework to address this problem through the learning of counter-diabatic quantum dynamics. Our approach combines a variational PINN formulation with a Magnus-expansion treatment of time-ordered evolution, enabling the adiabatic gauge potential and the scheduling function to be inferred directly from the underlying physics while enforcing the Euler-Lagrange structure of the protocol. The method is applied to several families of driven spin Hamiltonians, including nearest-neighbor, dipolar, and trapped-ion-inspired interactions, for systems of up to six qubits. The numerical results show that the proposed framework systematically improves over reference solutions based only on the Euler-Lagrange condition, yielding high normalized QFI together with favorable fidelity and extremal-balance metrics while preserving small phsical residuals. The analysis further shows that learning the scheduling function provides a clear performance advantage in most cases, and reveals non-trivial finite-size effects, with q=3 emerging as a particularly challenging regime. Although scalability remains limited by the exponential growth of the operator space and by automatic-differentiation costs, the results demonstrate that PINNs constitute a viable and physically grounded route for learning metrologically optimal control strategies in interacting quantum systems.
The classical Internet faces increasing limitations as data generation and device interconnectivity expand at unprecedented rates. In recent years, this has highlighted the need for communication frameworks that surpass classical limitations. The quantum Internet (QI), composed of multiple layers of quantum communication networks (QCNs), holds promise for remarkable capabilities in secure transmission, distributed quantum computing, and quantum-enhanced sensing. Accurate and scalable modeling of QCNs is essential for designing, analyzing, and optimizing QI protocols under realistic physical conditions. To model such open quantum systems under Markovian noise, the Lindblad master equation is widely used, but its modeling complexity grows exponentially with the system size. In this work, we introduce a learned approach that utilizes a physics-informed neural network (PINN) to model the dynamics of open quantum systems, which embeds the Lindblad formalism directly into the neural network's loss function. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by simulating the entanglement fidelity decay of a two-qubit Bell state under energy damping and phase decoherence noise, which is a relevant scenario for entanglement-based QI protocols. Preliminary numerical results show that the PINN-based solver aligns with conventional partial differential equation techniques while offering improved scalability. These findings suggest that PINNs could serve as an efficient approach for accelerating the analysis of future quantum networking solutions. Finally, we conclude by outlining key future directions for scaling the framework to support QCN-level optimization.
