Abstract

Adaptive feedback schemes are promising for quantum-enhanced measurements yet are complicated to design. Machine learning can autonomously generate algorithms in a classical setting. Here we adapt machine learning for quantum information and use our framework to generate autonomous adaptive feedback schemes for quantum measurement. In particular, our approach replaces guesswork in quantum measurement by a logical, fully automatic, programable routine. We show that our method yields schemes that outperform the best known adaptive scheme for interferometric phase estimation.

Machine Learning for Adaptive Quantum Measurement

Alexander Hentschel, Barry C. Sanders

One of the most immediate practical applications of quantum information processing is performing precise quantum measurements. Quantum measurement schemes employing adaptive feedback are most effective, since accumulated information from measurements is exploited to maximize the information gain in subsequent measurements. Yet devising such feedback policies is complicated and often involves clever guesswork. Here we present an automated method, based on machine learning, to generate adaptive feedback measurement policies. We apply our technique to adaptive quantum phase measurement, which is important for applications such as atomic clocks and gravitational wave detection. Our algorithm autonomously learns to perform phase estimation based on experimental trial runs, which can be either simulated or performed using a real world experiment.

Benchmarking machine learning algorithms for adaptive quantum phase estimation with noisy intermediate-scale quantum sensors

Abstract Quantum phase estimation is a paradigmatic problem in quantum sensing and metrology. Here we show that adaptive methods based on classical machine learning algorithms can be used to enhance the precision of quantum phase estimation when noisy non-entangled qubits are used as sensors. We employ the Differential Evolution (DE) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms to this task and we identify the optimal feedback policies which minimize the Holevo variance. We benchmark these schemes with respect to scenarios that include Gaussian and Random Telegraph fluctuations as well as reduced Ramsey-fringe visibility due to decoherence. We discuss their robustness against noise in connection with real experimental setups such as Mach–Zehnder interferometry with optical photons and Ramsey interferometry in trapped ions, superconducting qubits and nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond.

Traditional machine learning algorithms often rely on static parameter settings, limiting their adaptability and potentially hindering optimal performance. We propose a novel quantum learning framework that leverages quantum entanglement and quantum computation to dynamically adjust model parameters during the learning process, resulting in enhanced learning efficiency and generalization capabilities. The core mechanism centers around utilizing quantum entanglement to create a dynamic feedback loop that continuously refines the model's parameters based on its internal state. We present a detailed theoretical analysis and preliminary experimental validation demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach in a simplified learning scenario. The study explores the potential advantages of quantum-enhanced learning over classical methods.

Controlling adaptive quantum-phase estimation with scalable reinforcement learning.

Pantita Palittapongarnpim, Péter Wittek, Barry C. Sanders

We develop a reinforcement-learning algorithm to construct a feedback policy that delivers quantum-enhanced interferometric-phase estimation up to 100 photons in a noisy environment. We ensure scalability of the calculations by distributing the workload in a cluster and by vectorizing time-critical operations. We also improve running time by introducing accept-reject criteria to terminate calculation when a successful result is reached. Furthermore, we make the learning algorithm robust to noise by fine-tuning how the objective function is evaluated. The results show the importance and relevance of well-designed classical machine learning algorithms in quantum physics problems.
