• Abstract summary: We present the first deep generative model of quantum optics experiments where a variational autoencoder is trained on a dataset of experimental setups. We show the QOVAE is able to generate novel experiments for highly entangled quantum states with specific distributions that match its training data. The results demonstrate how we can successfully use and understand the internal representations of deep generative models in a complex scientific domain.

• Abstract: Quantum physics experiments produce interesting phenomena such as interference or entanglement, which is a core property of numerous future quantum technologies. The complex relationship between a quantum experiment's structure and its entanglement properties is essential to fundamental research in quantum optics but is difficult to intuitively understand. We present the first deep generative model of quantum optics experiments where a variational autoencoder (QOVAE) is trained on a dataset of experimental setups. In a series of computational experiments, we investigate the learned representation of the QOVAE and its internal understanding of the quantum optics world. We demonstrate that the QOVAE learns an intrepretable representation of quantum optics experiments and the relationship between experiment structure and entanglement. We show the QOVAE is able to generate novel experiments for highly entangled quantum states with specific distributions that match its training data. Importantly, we are able to fully interpret how the QOVAE structures its latent space, finding curious patterns that we can entirely explain in terms of quantum physics. The results demonstrate how we can successfully use and understand the internal representations of deep generative models in a complex scientific domain. The QOVAE and the insights from our investigations can be immediately applied to other physical systems throughout fundamental scientific research.

  We explore the applicability of quantum-data learning to practical problems in high-energy physics. We make use of ansatz based on quantum convolutional neural networks and numerically show that it is capable of recognizing quantum phases of ground states. The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.

• Relativistic Particle Motion and Quantum Optics in a Weak Gravitational Field [0.0]
  Long-baseline quantum experiments in space make it necessary to better understand the time evolution of relativistic quantum particles in a weakly varying gravitational field. We explain why conventional treatments by traditional quantum optics and atomic physics may become inadequate when faced with issues related to locality, simultaneity, signaling, causality, etc. Adding the effects of gravitation, we are led to Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime (QFTCST) This well-established theory should serve as the canonical reference theory to a large class of proposed space experiments testing the foundations of gravitation and quantum theory.
