Efficient Lindbladian Learning from Constant-Time Pauli Responses

Learning the generator of an open many-body system is more challenging than Hamiltonian learning: local responses, which can directly reveal coherent interaction terms in closed-system dynamics, may also contain dissipative contributions in open-system dynamics. In this paper, we address this challenge by developing an efficient Lindbladian learning framework for a known local candidate generator dictionary with bounded dissipative support and either bounded dual-interaction-graph degree or bounded unweighted local strength. The framework resolves the coherent-dissipative ambiguity by treating local Pauli responses as a linear system over both types of generator terms. Inverting this response system separates their contributions and makes the individual Lindbladian coefficients accessible from local response data in a fixed short-time window. Within this framework, we develop two efficient learning algorithms: Chebyshev--Lobatto response interpolation, which uses logarithmically many short evolution times and has a post-mean cost linear in $M$, with the stated dependence on $\epsilon$, and Single-time projected response contraction, which uses a single fixed evolution time and globally inverts a truncated response function. Both procedures estimate $M$ candidate coefficients to entrywise accuracy $\epsilon$ using $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(M/\epsilon^2)$ sample and classical post-processing complexity. Our theoretical results establish local response inversion as a scalable paradigm for learning, calibrating, and diagnosing complex quantum systems from experimentally accessible short-time data.
