Artificial Intelligence for Representing and Characterizing Quantum Systems

I review how integrating AI into quantum-system characterisation is typically based on machine learning, deep learning and language models for the core tasks of quantum-property prediction and quantum-system reconstruction with applications to certification, benchmarking, enhancing quantum information processing and identifying critical quantum phenomena. https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.04923
