Adaptive Quantum Control via Reinforcement Learning

Abstract

This paper investigates the application of reinforcement learning (RL) for adaptive quantum control. Traditional quantum control methods often rely on pre-designed pulse shapes optimized for specific scenarios, lacking adaptability to variations in system parameters or environmental noise. This work proposes a novel framework where an RL agent learns to dynamically adjust quantum control pulses in real-time, maximizing the fidelity of quantum operations. The agent receives feedback from the quantum system, typically measured through state variables, and utilizes this information to optimize the control pulse sequence. This adaptive approach addresses the limitations of static control schemes and promises enhanced robustness and performance in complex quantum systems. The core claim centers on utilizing reinforcement learning to design optimal quantum control pulses. The central mechanism involves a trained controller dynamically adjusting pulses based on system feedback. The presented methodology offers a new approach to quantum control, particularly relevant in noisy environments and systems with parameter variations. The research demonstrates the potential of RL for achieving superior quantum control outcomes compared to conventional techniques. ---
