Summary

Two- and three-qubit fragments encoded when a global state was unique—and supported faithful reconstruction on an NMR processor.

Semidefinite programming mapped reconstructability across 49 four-qubit entanglement classes. Neural networks then classified when reduced density matrices uniquely fixed the full state and reconstructed it when possible; experiments on a four-qubit NMR processor remained faithful despite noise and control imperfections.

Why it matters

Two- and three-qubit fragments encoded when a global state was unique—and supported faithful reconstruction on an NMR processor.
