Machine Learning approach to reconstruct Density Matrices from Quantum Marginals

In this work, we propose a machine learning-based approach to address a specific aspect of the Quantum Marginal Problem: reconstructing a global density matrix compatible with a given set of quantum marginals. Our method integrates a quantum marginal imposition technique with convolutional denoising autoencoders. The loss function is carefully designed to enforce essential physical constraints, including Hermiticity, positivity, and normalization. Through extensive numerical simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, achieving high success rates and accuracy. Furthermore, we show that, in many cases, our model offers a faster alternative to state-of-the-art semidefinite programming solvers without compromising solution quality. These results highlight the potential of machine learning techniques for solving complex problems in quantum mechanics.

Estimation of pure quantum states in high dimension at the limit of quantum accuracy through complex optimization and statistical inference

Quantum tomography has become a key tool for the assessment of quantum states, processes, and devices. This drives the search for tomographic methods that achieve greater accuracy. In the case of mixed states of a single 2-dimensional quantum system adaptive methods have been recently introduced that achieve the theoretical accuracy limit deduced by Hayashi and Gill and Massar. However, accurate estimation of higher-dimensional quantum states remains poorly understood. This is mainly due to the existence of incompatible observables, which makes multiparameter estimation difficult. Here we present an adaptive tomographic method and show through numerical simulations that, after a few iterations, it is asymptotically approaching the fundamental Gill-Massar lower bound for the estimation accuracy of pure quantum states in high dimension. The method is based on a combination of stochastic optimization on the field of the complex numbers and statistical inference, exceeds the accuracy of any mixed-state tomographic method, and can be demonstrated with current experimental capabilities. The proposed method may lead to new developments in quantum metrology.
