量子噪声严重限制了近期量子设备的实用性，误差缓解对实现实用量子计算至关重要。传统量子纠错需大量量子比特和复杂解码，本文提出一种机器学习方法，无需额外量子比特即可从噪声密度矩阵直接重构清洁量子态。将量子噪声抑制建模为监督学习问题，采用卷积神经网络（CNN）自编码器架构，并设计新颖的保真度感知复合损失函数。模型在包含10,000个密度矩阵的合成数据集上训练与评估，涵盖五种噪声类型（去极化、振幅阻尼、相位阻尼、比特翻转、混合噪声）及四个强度等级（0.05–0.20）。结果表明，该方法在所有噪声条件下均成功重构量子态，平均保真度从0.298提升至0.774（Δ = 0.476）。尤其在复杂混合噪声和高噪声强度下表现更优，混合噪声场景下修正后保真度达0.807，提升0.567。方法有效保留对角元（占据数）与非对角元（量子相干性），适用于依赖纠缠的量子算法。尽管相位阻尼存在信息论极限，但结果表明，基于CNN的密度矩阵重建是近中期量子设备的一种高效、资源节约型替代方案，有望以更少物理量子比特实现实际量子优势。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Quantum noise fundamentally limits the utility of near-term quantum devices, making error mitigation essential for practical quantum computation. While traditional quantum error correction codes require substantial qubit overhead and complex syndrome decoding, we propose a machine learning approach that directly reconstructs clean quantum states from noisy density matrices without additional qubits. We formulate quantum noise reduction as a supervised learning problem using a convolutional neural network (CNN) autoencoder architecture with a novel fidelity-aware composite loss function. Our method is trained and evaluated on a comprehensive synthetic dataset of 10,000 density matrices derived from random 5-qubit quantum circuits, encompassing five noise types (depolarizing, amplitude damping, phase damping, bit-flip, and mixed noise) across four intensity levels (0.05-0.20). The CNN successfully reconstructs quantum states across all noise conditions, achieving an average fidelity improvement from 0.298 to 0.774 (Δ = 0.476). Notably, the model demonstrates superior performance on complex mixed noise scenarios and higher noise intensities, with mixed noise showing the highest corrected fidelity (0.807) and improvement (0.567). The approach effectively preserves both diagonal elements (populations) and off-diagonal elements (quantum coherences), making it suitable for entanglement-dependent quantum algorithms. While phase damping presents fundamental information-theoretic limitations, our results suggest that CNN-based density matrix reconstruction offers a promising, resource-efficient alternative to traditional quantum error correction for NISQ-era devices. This data-driven approach could enable practical quantum advantage with fewer physical qubits than conventional error correction schemes require.
