• Abstract: We study Quantum Network Tomography (QNT) for end-to-end link-error characterization under imperfect Bell-state measurements (BSMs), where multiplicative coupling between link and measurement parameters makes identifiability non-trivial. For an n-node star network, we design probes that ensure unique identifiability and derive closed-form expressions for the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) and Maximum Likelihood Estimators (MLEs), and characterize estimation precision through the Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB). The results show that BSM imperfections degrade estimation precision, while the proposed probes maintain nearly stable precision for individual link parameters as the network size increases. Monte Carlo simulations further confirm that the Mean Squared Error (MSE) approaches the CRB with increasing sample size.

  Bi-Lipschitz regularization of neural network layers preserve relative distances between data instances in the feature spaces of each layer.

  We propose the amortized conditional normalized maximum likelihood (ACNML) method as a scalable general-purpose approach for uncertainty estimation. Our algorithm builds on the conditional normalized maximum likelihood (CNML) coding scheme, which has minimax optimal properties according to the minimum description length principle. We demonstrate that ACNML compares favorably to a number of prior techniques for uncertainty estimation in terms of calibration on out-of-distribution inputs.
