Abstract

Traditional quantum control relies on an iterative "simulate-then-optimize" paradigm, where dynamics simulation and control design are decoupled, leading to substantial computational overhead and limited scalability, particularly in noisy environments. Here, we propose an end-to-end quantum control framework based on long short-term memory, in which system dynamics and control strategies are learned jointly in a low dimensional latent manifold. The model directly maps initial states and environmental parameters to both dynamical trajectories and optimized control pulse in a single forward pass. The framework is validated on adiabatic speedup in a two-level system and state transfer in a one-dimensional spin chain under noise, achieving accurate dynamical prediction and control optimization. It improves the fidelity for both tasks and significantly reduces the optimization cost by three orders of magnitude compared with conventional iterative methods, while exhibiting strong generalization to multi-parameter, time-varying noise, as well as to different initial states and driving fields. Our work introduces a data-driven control paradigm based on latent manifold learning, reducing the computational bottleneck of iterative optimization and enabling real-time adaptive control of complex open quantum systems.

Optimal control of open-quantum-system dynamics predicted by long short-term memory

Jun-Dong Zhong, Zhao-Ming Wang

The realization of high-fidelity quantum control is crucial for quantum information processing, particularly in noisy environments where control strategies must simultaneously achieve precise manipulation and effective noise suppression. Conventional optimal control designs typically require numerical calculations of the system dynamics. Recent studies have demonstrated that long short-term memory neural networks (LSTM) can accurately predict the time evolution of open quantum systems. Based on LSTM predicted dynamics, we propose an optimal control framework for rapid and efficient optimal control design in open quantum systems. As illustrative examples, we apply the proposed framework to design optimal control for adiabatic speedup in a two-level system and for quantum state transfer in a spin chain, both under non-Markovian environments. For adiabatic speedup, our optimization procedure involves two steps: driving trajectory optimization and zero-area pulse optimization. Fidelity improvements for both steps have been obtained, demonstrating the effectiveness of the scheme. Furthermore, this effectiveness is validated for quantum state transfer in a spin chain, which is a high dimensional control problem. Our optimal control design scheme utilizes predicted dynamics to generate optimized controls, offering broad application potential in quantum computing, communication, and sensing.

Adaptive Quantum Control via Reinforcement Learning

Jincheng Zhang

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. ---

Enhancement of Machine Learning for Adaptive Quantum Computing Control: The Optimization Performance and Prevention of Real Time Error

V. Saravanan, Ganesan M, R. Balasubramaniyan +3 more

Adaptive quantum computing control is important for the stability and efficiency of quantum systems, especially in the presence of dynamic environmental noise and hardware fluctuations. We present a unified strategy for machine learning (ML) techniques to improve adaptive quantum control in two main directions: optimization speed and out-of-sample error. Here, we propose a hybrid learning method combining reinforcement learning (RL), deep neural networks (DNNs), and quantum-inspired models to actively and adaptively update quantum gate parameters and error mitigation strategies on the fly. Embedding of quantum noise models directly into the learning allows the system to predict and correct for decoherence, gate errors and measurement inaccuracy before they affect computational fidelity. Using extensive simulations as well as experimental validation on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) processors, our improved ML model achieves a substantially higher fidelity and robustness compared to standard model-free and static control approaches. We introduce a novel feedback-loop mechanism based on online learning algorithms enabling the system to adjust for changing noise profiles and hardware drift without retraining. The optimization part uses metaheuristic methods to quickly converge to control parameters that perform well, and the error prevention mechanism features anomaly detection and prediction correction layers to minimize the effects of cumulative decoherence. The results demonstrate that our adaptive control framework can be used to not only speed up the convergence in training quantum algorithms, but also sustain the performance of gates against error at a variety of error rates with the reduction of the real-time impact of the error up to 35 %. This work highlights the promise of machine learningaugmented quantum control for improving reliability and scalability in quantum computing and serves as a stepping stone for future incorporation with fault-tolerant designs.

Noise-Adaptive Predictive Dynamical Decoupling

Ali Abu-Nada, Subhashish Banerjee, Lian-Ao Wu

Protecting quantum coherence against realistic environmental noise remains one of the fundamental obstacles to scalable quantum technologies. We develop a noise-adaptive dynamical decoupling framework that combines analytical open-quantum-system modeling with machine-learning-based forecasting for a qubit interacting with random telegraph noise. Unlike conventional dynamical decoupling protocols based on fixed pulse schedules, the proposed approach continuously forecasts short-time coherence evolution and adaptively applies control pulses according to the instantaneous noise dynamics. We investigate stationary and non-stationary environments spanning both Markovian and non-Markovian regimes. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the machine-learning-assisted adaptive control strategy substantially outperforms conventional periodic dynamical decoupling while using a comparable number of control pulses. The improvement becomes particularly pronounced in non-Markovian and non-stationary regimes, where memory effects, coherence revivals, and temporally evolving noise strongly limit the effectiveness of static pulse protocols. These results establish predictive machine-learning-assisted dynamical decoupling as a promising and scalable framework for adaptive quantum control in realistic noisy quantum devices.

Adaptive Reinforcement Learning for Robust Open Quantum System Control: A Multi-Task Framework with Temporal Optimization

Haftu W. Fentaw, Steve Campbell, Simon Caton

We present a Multi-task Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) Reinforcement Learning framework designed for open-system quantum control across diverse Hamiltonians, which learns optimal pulse sequences while simultaneously discovering problem-specific evolution time T and number of control pulse segments N. Experimental results across 51 Hamiltonian variations demonstrate that the multi-task SAC model is able to generate control pulses that can drive a system, under environment noise, from its initial state to its target state with high fidelities, establishing essential foundations for universal quantum control applicable to realistic noisy quantum devices. Through progressive expansion of the training Hamiltonian set, we investigate if a single multi-task model trained using a given number of sample Hamiltonians can successfully accomplish state-transfer tasks for Hamiltonians drawn from the same Hamiltonian space but not encountered during training. In addition, our Robustness Infidelity Measure (RIM) analysis reveals that SAC trained policies exhibit superior robustness to pulse amplitude perturbations and decoherence rate variations compared to GRAPE-optimized controls.
