Innovation Solution

Perform quantum process tomography (QPT) on quantum noise processes to obtain dynamical maps, and extract transfer tensor maps (TTMs) to represent the evolution of these processes, enabling more comprehensive analysis, including Markov process determination, state evolution prediction, correlation function and frequency spectrum extraction, and correlated noise analysis.

1Loss of information

If quantum process tomography (QPT) is performed to obtain dynamical maps of quantum noise processes, then the quantum noise process can be reconstructed, but the information obtained is insufficient for accurate and comprehensive analysis

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the quantum noise process analysis into multiple components: dynamical maps from QPT, transfer tensor maps (TTMs) for temporal evolution, correlation functions for noise characteristics, and frequency spectra for spectral analysis. This segmentation allows comprehensive extraction of different aspects of quantum noise information that cannot be obtained by a single method.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extends the analysis from static dynamical maps to temporal evolution by introducing transfer tensor maps that capture the time-dependent behavior of quantum noise. This adds a temporal dimension to the analysis, enabling determination of Markovian vs non-Markovian characteristics and providing more comprehensive information for accurate noise process analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a multi-functional analysis framework where the same experimental setup and QPT procedure serve multiple purposes: reconstructing dynamical maps, extracting transfer tensor maps for Markov process determination, obtaining correlation functions for noise characterization, and deriving frequency spectra. This universal approach enables comprehensive analysis capabilities from a single measurement protocol.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces transfer tensor maps as an intermediary that connects the dynamical maps from QPT to various analysis objectives. The TTMs serve as a mediator that enables determination of Markovian characteristics, prediction of state evolution, and extraction of noise properties without requiring separate experimental procedures for each analysis type.

The patent uses the transfer tensor maps to provide feedback about the temporal evolution characteristics of the quantum noise process. The TTMs contain information about Markovian vs non-Markovian behavior and are used to predict future state evolution, creating a feedback mechanism that enhances understanding of the noise process temporal dynamics.

AI summary

A quantum noise process analysis method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium, relating to the technical field of quanta. The method comprises: performing quantum process tomography on a quantum noise process of a target quantum system to obtain dynamical mapping of the quantum noise process (201); extracting tensor transfer mapping of the quantum noise process from the dynamical mapping (202); and analyzing the quantum noise process according to the tensor transfer mapping (203). The tensor transfer mapping is used for representing the dynamical evolution of the quantum noise process, i.e., embodying the evolution law of the dynamical mapping of the quantum noise process over time. Therefore, a quantum noise process is analyzed on the basis of tensor transfer mapping of the quantum noise process. Compared with pure quantum process tomography, richer and more comprehensive information about the quantum noise process can be obtained, so that the quantum noise process is analyzed more accurately and comprehensively.
