Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Maximizing Quantum Fisher Information in Time-Dependent Many-Body Systems

Abstract

Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) sets the ultimate precision limit for parameter estimation and is therefore a central quantity in quantum metrology. In time-dependent many-body systems, however, maximizing QFI is a highly non-trivial task due to the combined effects of non-commutativity, control complexity, and the exponential growth of the Hilbert space. In this work, we present a physics-informed neural network (PINN) framework to address this problem through the learning of counter-diabatic quantum dynamics. Our approach combines a variational PINN formulation with a Magnus-expansion treatment of time-ordered evolution, enabling the adiabatic gauge potential and the scheduling function to be inferred directly from the underlying physics while enforcing the Euler-Lagrange structure of the protocol. The method is applied to several families of driven spin Hamiltonians, including nearest-neighbor, dipolar, and trapped-ion-inspired interactions, for systems of up to six qubits. The numerical results show that the proposed framework systematically improves over reference solutions based only on the Euler-Lagrange condition, yielding high normalized QFI together with favorable fidelity and extremal-balance metrics while preserving small phsical residuals. The analysis further shows that learning the scheduling function provides a clear performance advantage in most cases, and reveals non-trivial finite-size effects, with $q=3$ emerging as a particularly challenging regime. Although scalability remains limited by the exponential growth of the operator space and by automatic-differentiation costs, the results demonstrate that PINNs constitute a viable and physically grounded route for learning metrologically optimal control strategies in interacting quantum systems.

Quantum Authenticated Key Expansion with Key Recycling

Data privacy and authentication are two main security requirements for remote access and cloud services. While QKD has been explored to address data privacy concerns, oftentimes its use is separate from the client authentication protocol despite implicitly providing authentication. Here, we present a quantum authentication key expansion (QAKE) protocol that (1) integrates both authentication and key expansion within a single protocol, and (2) provides key recycling property - allowing all authentication keys to be reused. We analyse the security of the protocol in a QAKE framework adapted from a classical authentication key exchange (AKE) framework, providing separate security conditions for authentication and data privacy. We experimentally implemented the protocol with appropriate post-selection. Additional results on the security of pseudorandom basis generation in QAKE and decoy state BB84 are provided.

Entanglement as Difference: Reduction-induced Minimal Partial Entropy Difference

Bipartite mixed-state quantum entanglement (QE) and its measures play a crucial role in both theoretical research and practical quantum applications. Its internal structure is far more complex and less well understood compared with bipartite pure-state QE. Some existing measures involve inherently intractable global optimizations, while others are only applicable to highly limited-dimensional quantum systems. Here based on the inherent feature that bipartite QE systems nonseparable necessarily implies that local reduced density matrix differs from its \textquotedblleft native\textquotedblright density matrix, we propose a more physical and intuitive measure termed Reduction-induced Minimal Partial Entropy Difference to quantify arbitrary bipartite mixed-state QE. Partial Von Neumann Entropy is only a pure-state special case of this method. This measure offers intrinsic structural %perspective insights into bipartite QE characterization, thereby establishing itself as a valuable complementary measure. Its intuitive and clear physical picture, combined with relatively low computational complexity and wide applicability, facilitates exploring its potential quantum information applications, hence its conceptual framework and line of thought deserve to be further developed to describe and quantify multipartite QE in the future.

Non-local mass superpositions and optical clock interferometry in atomic ensemble quantum networks

Quantum networks are emerging as powerful platforms for sensing, communication, and fundamental tests of physics. We propose a programmable quantum sensing network based on entangled atomic ensembles, where optical clock qubits realize mass superpositions arising via mass-energy equivalence, as in atom and atom-clock interferometry. Our approach uniquely combines scalability to large atom numbers with minimal control requirements, relying only on collective addressing of internal atomic states. This enables the creation of both non-local and local superpositions with spatial separations beyond those achievable in conventional matter-wave interferometry with single atoms. Starting from Bell-type seed states distributed via photonic channels, collective operations within atomic ensembles coherently build many-body mass superpositions sensitive to gravitational redshift. The resulting architecture implements a non-local Ramsey interferometer, where gravitationally induced phase shifts are imprinted on non-local entangled states and are read out through local measurements at the network nodes. Beyond extending the spatial reach of mass superpositions, our scheme establishes a scalable, programmable platform to probe the interface of quantum mechanics and gravity, and offers a new experimental pathway to test atom and atom-clock interferometer proposals, e.g. for probing gravitational dephasing, in a network-based quantum laboratory.
