Quantum entanglement detection is one of the fundamental tasks in quantum information science. Conventional methods for quantum state tomography exhibit limitations in scalability as the number of qubits increases, leading to exponential growth in the number of unknown parameters and required measurements. Consequently, the accuracy enhancement achieved by these methods is constrained. In response to this challenge, we developed a tailored convolutional neural network (CNN) model capable of effectively detecting entanglement in two-qubit quantum states, achieving an accuracy exceeding 97.5%. Notably, even in the presence of noise, this model retains its robust performance, displaying resilience against a tolerable level of noise contamination. Furthermore, the inherent generalization power of CNNs allows our model, which was initially trained on a specific spectrum of quantum states, to extend its applicability to wider states, positioning it as an outstanding tool for the further application of machine learning in the field of quantum computing, opening up new pathways for solving entanglement detection problems in quantum information.
