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.

Understanding of how biological neural networks process information is one of the biggest open scientific questions of our time. Advances in machine learning and artificial neural networks have enabled the modeling of neuronal behavior, but classical models often require a large number of parameters, complicating interpretability. Quantum computing offers an alternative approach through quantum machine learning, which can achieve efficient training with fewer parameters. In this work, we introduce a quantum generative model framework for generating synthetic data that captures the spatial and temporal correlations of biological neuronal activity. Our model demonstrates the ability to achieve reliable outcomes with fewer trainable parameters compared to classical methods. These findings highlight the potential of quantum generative models to provide new tools for modeling and understanding neuronal behavior, offering a promising avenue for future research in neuroscience.

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.
