Abstract
Quantum communication underpins secure information processing and scalable quantum networks. In particular, remote state preparation (RSP) enables efficient quantum state transfer, but accurately estimating target states under complex noise remains challenging. Here, we propose a Transformer-based Quantum State Characterizer (TQSC) model for noisy RSP experiments. Our model reconstructs experimentally prepared pure and mixed photonic polarization states from noisy measurements in complex scattering environments, while its attention patterns provide physically grounded insights into correlations among the measured observables. The method achieves a mean estimator-target fidelity exceeding 99.999% under complex scattering and dynamic Gaussian noise, while its robustness and generalization are further examined using Qiskit-simulated Bloch-ball states. Furthermore, in a practical MNIST image transmission task with held-out states, the decoded bit error rate is reduced from 50.34% to zero after TQSC post-processing. The TQSC model enables accurate tomographic characterization under dynamic noise and provides physically grounded post-hoc insights, holding promise for intelligent quantum information processing applications.
Photonic qubits play an important role in quantum information processing. However, to date, efficient high-speed single photon sources and photon number resolving (PNR) detectors are still difficult to make. Here, we use phase-randomized coherent states and threshold detectors, combined with decoy-state post-processing...

Quantum-enhanced sensing typically relies on preparing specific entangled states. However, engineering these states in scalable many-body systems remains challenging due to the difficulty of designing robust preparation protocols and accounting for realistic noise. We show that evolving a simple product state under nat...
