While substantial progress has been made in improving individual qubit coherence times, the collective behavior of interconnected qubit systems remains incompletely understood. The connectivity architecture plays a crucial role in determining overall system susceptibility to environmental noise, yet systematic characterization of this relationship has been hindered by computational complexity. We develop a machine learning framework that bridges graph features with quantum device characterization to predict decoherence lifetime directly from connectivity patterns. By representing quantum architectures as connected graphs and using 14 topological features as input to supervised learning models, we achieve accurate lifetime predictions with R2&gt;0.96 for both superconducting and semiconductor platforms. Our analysis reveals fundamentally distinct decoherence mechanisms: superconducting qubits show high sensitivity to global connectivity measures (betweenness centrality \u03b41=0.484, spectral entropy \u03b41=0.480), while semiconductor quantum dots exhibit exceptional sensitivity to system scale (node count \u03b42=0.919, importance = 1.860). The complete failure of cross-platform model transfer (R2 scores of \u22120.39 and \u2212433.60) emphasizes the platform-specific nature of optimal connectivity design. Our approach enables rapid assessment of quantum architectures without expensive simulations, providing practical guidance for noise-optimized quantum processor design.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e28010089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,12]],"date-time":"2026-01-12T10:25:23Z","timestamp":1768213523000},"page":"89","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Machine Learning the Decoherence Property of Superconducting and Semiconductor Quantum Devices from Graph Connectivity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8549-0340","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Quan","family":"Fu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Technology, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"},{"name":"Department of Physics, City University of Hong Kong, Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR, China"},{"name":"City University of Hong Kong Shenzhen Research Institute, Shenzhen 518057, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1436-8901","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jie","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, City University of Hong Kong, Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR, China"},{"name":"Quantum Science Center of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen 518045, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2971-5088","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, City University of Hong Kong, Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR, China"},{"name":"City University of Hong Kong Shenzhen Research Institute, Shenzhen 518057, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0468-6014","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Technology, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"718","DOI":"10.1038\/s42254-024-00770-9","article-title":"Challenges and opportunities in quantum optimization","volume":"6","author":"Abbas","year":"2024","journal-title":"Nat.
