Physics-Informed Artificial Intelligence for Inverse Design and Decoherence Mitigation in Superconducting Transmon Architectures

Type: article
Abstract: Scaling superconducting quantum processors is fundamentally limited by environmentally induced decoherence arising from nanoscale fabrication defects. Conventional heuristic microwave control protocols cannot dynamically adapt to device-specific material variations, while purely data-driven deep learning approaches often violate physical constraints. Here we introduce a compact quantum physics-informed neural network (QPINN) that learns device-aware microwave control pulses for superconducting qubits. Trained on empirical defect characteristics extracted from 162 InAs nanosheet Josephson junction measurements, the model embeds the Lindblad master equation directly into its loss function to enforce physical consistency. Open-system simulations demonstrate a 42% reduction in leakage to non-computational states. Hardware experiments executed on the 156-qubit IBM Quantum processor show an increase in Ramsey dephasing time from 83.3 ± 7.8 μs to 113.0 ± 1.1 μs while maintaining gate fidelity exceeding 99.99%.
