Reconstructing Quantum Dot Charge Stability Diagrams with Diffusion Models

Efficiently characterizing quantum dot (QD) devices is a critical bottleneck when scaling quantum processors based on confined spins. Measuring high-resolution charge stability diagrams (or CSDs, data maps which crucially define the occupation of QDs) is time-consuming, particularly in emerging architectures where CSDs must be acquired with remote sensors that cannot probe the charge of the relevant dots directly. In this work, we present a generative approach to accelerate acquisition by reconstructing full CSDs from sparse measurements, using a conditional diffusion model. We evaluate our approach using two experimentally motivated masking strategies: uniform grid-based sampling, and line-cut sweeps. Our lightweight architecture, trained on approximately 9,000 examples, successfully reconstructs CSDs, maintaining key physically important features such as charge transition lines, from as little as 4\% of the total measured data. We compare the approach to interpolation methods, which fail when the task involves reconstructing large unmeasured regions. Our results demonstrate that generative models can significantly reduce the characterization overhead for quantum devices, and provides a robust path towards an experimental implementation.

Adiabatic Fine-Tuning of Neural Quantum States Enables Detection of Phase Transitions in Weight Space

Neural quantum states (NQS) have emerged as a powerful tool for approximating quantum wavefunctions using deep learning. While these models achieve remarkable accuracy, understanding how they encode physical information remains an open challenge. In this work, we introduce adiabatic fine-tuning, a scheme that trains NQS across a phase diagram, leading to strongly correlated weight representations across different models. This correlation in weight space enables the detection of phase transitions in quantum systems by analyzing the trained network weights alone. We validate our approach on the transverse field Ising model and the J1-J2 Heisenberg model, demonstrating that phase transitions manifest as distinct structures in weight space. Our results establish a connection between physical phase transitions and the geometry of neural network parameters, opening new directions for the interpretability of machine learning models in physics.
