Experimental Characterization of a Non-Markovian Quantum Process

by AIM Research and Publication

Executive Summary

Quantum computing is the future of big data and computing seen to revolutionize the modeling of highly complex problems like urbanization, climate change, and transport systems. Unlike the standard computer that relies on binary operations, 0 or 1, quantum computing will allow superposition of multiple states allowing number crunching with factorial efficiency or several orders of magnitude faster. One of the biggest challenges in emerging quantum technologies is the efficient characterization of noise, which originates from the unavoidable interaction of a system of interest with the surrounding environment. Most noise characterization methods, such as randomized benchmarking, rely on the assumption of Markovianity. A particularly problematic case inherent in quantum systems is that the environment retains a memory of its past interactions, leading to correlations in the system’s evolution. Such system-environment interaction leads to a temporal correlation between quantum operations at different times, resulting in non-Markovian noise. In principle, a full characterization of non-Markovian noise requires tomography of a multi-time processes matrix, both computationally and experimentally demanding.

In this work, we propose a more efficient solution. We employ machine learning models to estimate the amount of non-Markovianity, as quantified by an information-theoretic measure, with tomographically incomplete measurement. We test our model on a quantum optical experiment, and we demonstrate that we can accurately predict (>90%) the non-Markovianity measure. The work has the potential to revolutionize the robustness of quantum computers as it paves the way for detecting non-Markovian noise appearing in large-scale quantum systems.
