As commonly understood, the noise spectroscopy problem---characterizing the statistical properties of a noise process affecting a quantum system by measuring its response---is ill-posed. Ad-hoc solutions assume implicit structure which is…

There are two major types of uncertainty one can model. Aleatoric uncertainty captures noise inherent in the observations. On the other hand, epistemic uncertainty accounts for uncertainty in the model -- uncertainty which can be explained…
