Preparing quantum states by measurement-feedback control with Bayesian optimization

Abstract

The preparation of quantum states is crucial for enabling quantum computations and simulations. In this work, we present a general framework for preparing ground states of many-body systems by combining the measurement-feedback control process (MFCP) with machine learning techniques. Specifically, we employ Bayesian optimization (BO) to enhance the efficiency of determining the measurement and feedback operators within the MFCP. As an illustration, we study the ground state preparation of the one-dimensional Bose–Hubbard model. Through BO, we are able to identify optimal parameters that can effectively drive the system towards low-energy states with a high probability across various quantum trajectories. Our results open up new directions for further exploration and development of advanced control strategies for quantum computations and simulations.
