Machine learning on quantum experimental data toward solving quantum many-body problems
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Abstract Advancements in the implementation of quantum hardware have enabled the acquisition of data that are intractable for emulation with classical computers. The integration of classical machine learning (ML) algorithms with these data holds potential for unveiling obscure patterns. Although this hybrid approach extends the class of efficiently solvable problems compared to using only classical computers, this approach has been realized for solving restricted problems because of the prevalence of noise in current quantum computers. Here, we extend the applicability of the hybrid approach to problems of interest in many-body physics, such as predicting the properties of the ground state of a given Hamiltonian and classifying quantum phases. By performing experiments with various error-reducing procedures on superconducting quantum hardware with 127 qubits, we managed to acquire refined data from the quantum computer. This enabled us to demonstrate the successful implementation of classical ML algorithms for systems with up to 44 qubits. Our results verify the scalability and effectiveness of the classical ML algorithms for processing quantum experimental data.

Gates labeled G and P represent a Givens rotation and a basis rotation for parity measurement, respectively. c Correlation matrix for random hopping system. Results from ML prediction using the Gaussian kernel and exact values from exact diagonalization (ED) are shown on the left and right, respectively. d Prediction error. Model performance is measured by the root-mean-square error (RMSE). The error bars represent the standard deviation of the RMSEs of each observable. The dotted red line means the average RMSE for the training data. Inset shows the relationship between the log(Ndata) and 1/RMSE. The solid lines indicate a linear fit to the data points. e Correlation matrix for 1D SSH system (v = 1, w = 1). Results from ML predictions using Gaussian kernel and exact values from ED are shown on the left and right, respectively. f Prediction error. RMSE* (=√(2/n(n−1)(∑)i≥jⁿ(⟨ai^(†)aj⟩−⟨ai^(†)aj⟩ML)²)) from different kernels while keeping v = 1 and varying w in 0.25 intervals from 0.25 to 1.75. g Edge correlation. The edge correlation 〈a1†an〉 is measured between sites located at either end of a chain. The dotted red line is the known phase boundary between the trivial and topological phases. The black curve indicates exact values obtained by ED. In d, f, g the green, blue, and orange points each indicate the results predicted by the ML model trained by a (modified) Dirichlet kernel, neural tangent kernel, and Gaussian kernel, respectively.](/paper-figures/ec4ae09cf5604874a2a442996c1f63e3/machine-learning-on-quantum-experimental-data-toward-solving-quantum-many-body-figure-2.jpg)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
