Forked Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Non-Markovian Open Quantum Dynamics and Control

Zhao-Wei Wang, Kai-Yu Yuan, Feng-Hua Ren +1 more

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) provide a pathway to reunify the simulation and control of quantum systems, in which these two tasks are typically decoupled in traditional strategies. However, most work remains confined to Markovian environments. When applied to non-Markovian systems, standard PINN architectures fail to converge reliably due to multi-objective optimization conflicts arising from the coupled differential equations. To address this fundamental limitation, we extend our previously proposed forked PINN (FPINN) by incorporating a dedicated control branch. By decoupling the optimization objectives at the gradient level via selective gradient flow, our method turns a previously intractable multi-task optimization into a well-conditioned one, allowing simulation and control to be optimized jointly without compromise. Numerical simulations on a two-qubit Heisenberg XXX model confirm that our framework faithfully reproduces the features of non-Markovian dynamics, including decoherence and information backflow. Taking a state-preparation task on the same model as an example, our FPINN achieves higher fidelity than gradient ascent pulse engineering, chopped random basis, and standard PINNs, with the advantage becoming more pronounced as the environment becomes more dissipative and more Markovian. The generated pulses are also noticeably smoother, which is advantageous for experimental implementation. Our framework thus provides a unified, end-to-end differentiable paradigm for simulation and control of open quantum systems, with potential implications for quantum computing, simulation, and control.

Learning quantum properties from short-range correlations using multi-task networks

Yadong Wu, Yan Zhu, Yuexuan Wang +1 more

Characterizing multipartite quantum systems is crucial for quantum computing and many-body physics. The problem, however, becomes challenging when the system size is large and the properties of interest involve correlations among a large number of particles. Here we introduce a neural network model that can predict various quantum properties of many-body quantum states with constant correlation length, using only measurement data from a small number of neighboring sites. The model is based on the technique of multi-task learning, which we show to offer several advantages over traditional single-task approaches. Through numerical experiments, we show that multi-task learning can be applied to sufficiently regular states to predict global properties, like string order parameters, from the observation of short-range correlations, and to distinguish between quantum phases that cannot be distinguished by single-task networks. Remarkably, our model appears to be able to transfer information learnt from lower dimensional quantum systems to higher dimensional ones, and to make accurate predictions for Hamiltonians that were not seen in the training. Inferring quantum properties of many-body systems is both essential and challenging. Here the authors develop a neural network model that infers these properties from short-range measurements using a quantum-adapted multi-task learning approach.

A differentiable programming method for quantum control

Frank Schäfer, Michal Kloc, Christoph Bruder +1 more

Abstract Optimal control is highly desirable in many current quantum systems, especially to realize tasks in quantum information processing. We introduce a method based on differentiable programming to leverage explicit knowledge of the differential equations governing the dynamics of the system. In particular, a control agent is represented as a neural network that maps the state of the system at a given time to a control pulse. The parameters of this agent are optimized via gradient information obtained by direct differentiation through both the neural network and the differential equation of the system. This fully differentiable reinforcement learning approach ultimately yields time-dependent control parameters optimizing a desired figure of merit. We demonstrate the method’s viability and robustness to noise in eigenstate preparation tasks for three systems: a single qubit, a chain of qubits, and a quantum parametric oscillator.
