Integrating Neural Networks with a Quantum Simulator for State Reconstruction
We demonstrate quantum many-body state reconstruction from experimental data generated by a programmable quantum simulator, by means of a neural network model incorporating known experimental errors. Specifically, we extract restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) wavefunctions from data produced by a Rydberg quantum simulator with eight and nine atoms in a single measurement basis, and apply a novel regularization technique to mitigate the effects of measurement errors in the training data. Reconstructions of modest complexity are able to capture one- and two-body observables not accessible to experimentalists, as well as more sophisticated observables such as the R\'enyi mutual information. Our results open the door to integration of machine learning architectures with intermediate-scale quantum hardware.
