Abstract Tracking quantum entanglement information is vital for quantum information processing. Conventional quantum state tomography can recover entanglement dynamics but requires a large number of measurements, especially for multi-qubit and open system situations. In this paper, we propose using the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) to interpolate entanglement dynamics from sparsely sampled data. We exemplify our approach using an analytical solvable model of two entangled qubits each coupled to a non-Markovian dephasing environment. We demonstrate that the MLP can efficiently track the entanglement dynamics based on a limited sample of data. This solvable model enables us to evaluate the performance of MLP approach across different sampling schemes, system parameters, and coupling configurations. The results indicate that the MLP provides an efficient and robust solution for entanglement tracking in non-Markovian open quantum systems.

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.

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource in quantum information, but its characterization becomes increasingly challenging as the size of multipartite systems grows. This thesis investigates machine learning methods to detect and quantify entanglement in pure multiqubit states using only single qubit Pauli expectation values. Two complementary tasks are considered: the distinction between fully separable and entangled states, with particular attention to weakly entangled states close to the separability boundary, and the regression of normalized multipartite classical squashed entanglement. Several machine learning models are evaluated for detection, while multilayer perceptrons are employed for quantification. The low entanglement regime is investigated through dedicated datasets and targeted data augmentation strategies. The proposed approaches are studied for systems of 5, 10, 15, and 20 qubits and are further evaluated under realistic measurement conditions, including finite shot noise, asymmetric readout errors, calibration drift, and data acquired from real quantum processors. The study assesses the scalability, robustness, and practical limitations of data-driven entanglement characterization based on a linearly scaling set of local observables.
A precise understanding of the influence of a quantum system's environment on its dynamics, which is at the heart of the theory of open quantum systems, is crucial for further progress in the development of controllable large-scale quantum systems. However, existing approaches to account for complex system-environment interaction in the presence of memory effects are either based on heuristic and oversimplified principles or give rise to computational difficulties. In practice, one can leverage on available experimental data and replace first-principles simulations with a data-driven analysis that is often much simpler. Inspired by recent advances in data analysis and machine learning, we propose a data-driven approach to the analysis of the non-Markovian dynamics of open quantum systems. Our method allows, on the one hand, capturing the most important characteristics of open quantum systems such as the effective dimension of the environment and the spectrum of the joint system-environment quantum dynamics, and, on the other hand, reconstructing a predictive model of non-Markovian quantum dynamics, and denoising the measured quantum trajectories. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach with various models of open quantum systems, including a qubit coupled with a finite environment, a spin-boson model, and the damped Jaynes-Cummings model.
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.
Abstract We present a systematic comparative analysis of machine learning and traditional approaches for quantum entanglement characterization in bi-partite ququart systems. Quantifying entanglement traditionally requires full quantum state tomography, necessitating Nmub2D2Ncop measurements, where Nmub is the number of mutually unbiased bases, D is the subsystem dimensionality, and Ncop is the number of identical copies. For ququart systems with D=4, this translates to hundreds of distinct measurement settings, each requiring multiple copies (Ncop typically in thousands)—resulting in hundreds of thousands of total measurements in practice. Our research demonstrates that neural networks achieve comparable or superior accuracy with orders of magnitude fewer measurement settings. We evaluate three architectures—Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Transformer—against Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) and Bayesian methods across measurement counts ranging from 10 to 400. Neural approaches achieve up to 1650× faster computation times compared to traditional methods while maintaining competitive accuracy. At 100 measurements, the Transformer achieves Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 1.49×10−1, while MLE yields 2.04×10−1—over 10× higher error—despite taking 178 times longer. All neural methods in our study show error reduction scaling as approximately 1/N with increased measurements. While this observed scaling might be influenced by our specific architectures, it provides important practical guidance for experimental design. The Transformer architecture demonstrates exceptional sample efficiency, achieving with 100 measurements what traditional methods require 250-400 measurements to accomplish—a significant advantage for resource-constrained quantum experiments. This research provides a viable pathway for real-time entanglement characterization in higher-dimensional quantum systems where traditional methods become computationally prohibitive.
