Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As the complexity of quantum devices increases, groundbreaking experimental work is evidencing the potential of machine learning approaches for the development and automation of new quantum technologies. Among the forefront challenges in scaling up contemporary quantum computing platforms are reliable fabrication, large arrays design, and the time-consuming procedures necessary to achieve the high-level control required to operate quantum devices. In response to these challenges, a new field has begun to form at the boundary of quantum devices and artificial intelligence, where the versatility and generalization ability of the latter is being used to achieve optimal quantum control.

This Special Issue targets this emerging field, focusing on advances in machine-learning-enhanced control, calibration, and fabrication of quantum devices in a range of quantum computing platforms. Of special interest is the application of machine learning methods to experiments, focusing on the control of quantum circuits as well as machine learning software for quantum devices. We welcome submissions ranging from analysis of data sets produced by experiments, to experimental design solutions using artificial intelligence, reinforcement learning controllers, new tools for simulation of large scale quantum systems, and general applications of machine learning to various realizations of quantum computing platforms.

In spin based quantum dot arrays, material or fabrication imprecisions affect the behaviour of the device, which must be taken into account when controlling it. This requires measuring the shape of specific convex polytopes. We present an algorithm that automatically discovers count, shape and size of the facets of a convex polytope from measurements by alternating a phase of model-fitting with a phase of querying new measurements, based on the fitted model. We evaluate the algorithm on simulated polytopes and devices, as well as a real 2 × 2 spin qubit array. Results show that we can reliably find the facets of the convex polytopes, including small facets with sizes on the order of the measurement precision. Full article
