Extracting many-particle entanglement entropy from observables using supervised machine learning

Entanglement, which quantifies non-local correlations in quantum mechanics, is the fascinating concept behind much of aspiration towards quantum technologies. Nevertheless, directly measuring the entanglement of a many-particle system is very challenging. Here we show that via supervised machine learning using a convolutional neural network, we can infer the entanglement from a measurable observable for a disordered interacting quantum many-particle system. Several structures of neural networks were tested and a convolutional neural network akin to structures used for image and speech recognition performed the best. After training on a set of 500 realizations of disorder, the network was applied to 200 new realizations and its results for the entanglement entropy were compared to a direct computation of the entanglement entropy. Excellent agreement was found, except for several rare region which in a previous study were identified as belonging to an inclusion of a Griffiths-like quantum phase. Training the network on a test set with different parameters (in the same phase) also works quite well.
