Machine classification of quantum correlations for entanglement distribution networks

The paper suggest employing machine learning for resource-efficient classification of quantum correlations in entanglement distribution networks. Specifically, artificial neural networks (ANN) are utilized to classify quantum correlations based on collective measurements conducted in the geometry of entanglement swapping. ANNs are trained to categorize two-qubit quantum states into five mutually exclusive classes depending on the strength of quantum correlations exhibited by the states. The precision and recall of the ANN models are analyzed as functions of the quantum resources consumed, i.e. the number of collective measurements performed.
