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…

Inverse analysis, such as model calibration, often suffers from a lack of informative data in complex real-world scenarios. The standard remedy, designing new experimental setups, is often costly and time-consuming, while readily available…
