Recognition of Schrodinger cat state based on CNN

We applied convolutional neural networks to the classification of cat states and coherent states. Initially, we generated datasets of Schrodinger cat states and coherent states from nonlinear processes and preprocessed these datasets. Subsequently, we constructed both LeNet and ResNet network architectures, adjusting parameters such as convolution kernels and strides to optimal values. We then trained both LeNet and ResNet on the training sets. The loss function values indicated that ResNet performs better in classifying cat states and coherent states. Finally, we evaluated the trained models on the test sets, achieving an accuracy of 97.5% for LeNet and 100% for ResNet. We evaluated cat states and coherent states with different α, demonstrating a certain degree of generalization capability. The results show that LeNet may mistakenly recognize coherent states as cat states without coherent features, while ResNet provides a feasible solution to the problem of mistakenly recognizing cat states and coherent states by traditional neural networks.
