    Abstract

    We introduce a machine-learning approach for identifying hidden structural features of open quantum dynamics under restricted experimental access. Unlike most existing data-driven methods which focus on detection or prediction of dynamical behavior, our framework targets the inference of invariant algebraic structures underlying the effective Markovian evolution. Measurement limitations, symmetries, and superselection rules are incorporated through a *-algebraic description of accessible observables. The learning problem is formulated as maximum-likelihood estimation from multitime measurement sequences, where the algebraic type of an invariant subalgebra—particularly a decoherence-free subalgebra—is treated as a discrete structural hypothesis. The feasibility of the approach is illustrated on multiple synthetic models and a waveguide quantum electrodynamics system, where nontrivial intermediate algebraic structures are identified directly from measurement data.
