Artificial-intelligence-based surrogate solution of dissipative quantum dynamics: physics-informed reconstruction of the universal propagator

Abstract

The accurate (or even approximate) solution of the equations that govern the dynamics of dissipative quantum systems remains a challenging task for quantum science. While several algorithms have been designed to solve those equations with different degrees of flexibility, they rely mainly on highly expensive iterative schemes. Most recently, deep neural networks have been used for quantum dynamics but current architectures are highly dependent on the physics of the particular system and usually limited to population dynamics. Here we introduce an artificial-intelligence-based surrogate model that solves dissipative quantum dynamics by parameterizing quantum propagators as Fourier neural operators, which we train using both dataset and physics-informed loss functions. Compared with conventional algorithms, our quantum neural propagator avoids time-consuming iterations and provides a universal super-operator that can be used to evolve any initial quantum state for arbitrarily long times. To illustrate the wide applicability of the approach, we employ our quantum neural propagator to compute population dynamics and time-correlation functions of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex.
