TetrisCNN for interpretable detection of phases of matter from experimental quantum simulator data

TetrisCNN is a convolutional neural network that uses parallel branches of differently shaped filters to learn sparse, interpretable latent representations directly in terms of spin correlators. Applied to experimental snapshots from two-dimensional Ising and XY quantum simulators measured in multiple bases, the network detects phase transitions and crossovers while expressing its decision boundaries as symbolic formulas built from experimentally measurable spin correlators. This approach bridges the gap between black‑box neural network methods and physically interpretable models, enabling automated detection of phases of matter from realistic, noisy experimental data.
