光子量子机器学习提供了一种基于相位、干涉和测量的可训练物理表征路径。然而其在科学机器学习中的作用仍待探索。物理信息神经场为此提供了自然框架,因微分方程需保持相位、频率与导数结构的试函数空间。本文提出一种光子量子神经场,其中坐标变为可训练的光学相位,经多光子福克空间干涉混合,并由光子数测量解码。光子电路作为神经场表示本身被优化,而非固定特征映射或硬件加速器。因此,光子测量成为可训练的表示,用于最小化物理信息残差。在七个椭圆型、波动、非线性色散及反演偏微分方程基准上,观察到相位复杂度转变:光滑区域古典坐标与傅里叶特征网络已足够,而当残差导数放大相位失配时,光子场最准确。在最难情况下误差最低,差距可达一个数量级,且参数量约为经典基线的四分之一。冻结与打乱控制实验及噪声压力测试表明,性能提升源于学习到的干涉与复合扰动下的稳定福克概率读出。这些结果揭示了光子量子测量作为科学机器学习中表征学习的新原则。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Photonic quantum machine learning offers a route to trainable physical representations built from phase, interference and measurement. However, its role in scientific machine learning remains largely unexplored. Physics-informed neural fields provide a natural setting, because differential equations require trial spaces that preserve phase, frequency and derivative structure. Here we introduce a photonic quantum neural field in which coordinates become trainable optical phases, are mixed by multi-photon Fock-space interference and are decoded from photon-number measurements. The photonic circuit is optimized as the neural-field representation itself, not as a fixed feature map or hardware accelerator. Photonic measurement is therefore a trainable representation on which the physics-informed residual is minimized. Across seven elliptic, wave, nonlinear dispersive and inverse PDE benchmarks, we observe a phase-complexity transition: classical coordinate and Fourier-feature networks suffice in smooth regimes, whereas the photonic field is most accurate when residual derivatives amplify phase mismatch. In the hardest regimes it gives the lowest errors, with margins reaching an order of magnitude and about one quarter of the trainable parameters of classical baselines. Frozen and shuffled controls, together with noise stress tests, attribute this gain to learned interference and stable Fock-probability readout under compound perturbations. These results identify photonic quantum measurement as a representation-learning principle for scientific machine learning.
