Using recurrent neural networks to optimize dynamical decoupling for quantum memory

摘要

We utilize machine learning models that are based on recurrent neural networks to optimize dynamical decoupling (DD) sequences. Dynamical decoupling is a relatively simple technique for suppressing the errors in quantum memory for certain noise models. In numerical simulations, we show that with minimum use of prior knowledge and starting from random sequences, the models are able to improve over time and eventually output DD sequences with performance better than that of the well known DD families. Furthermore, our algorithm is easy to implement in experiments to find solutions tailored to the specific hardware, as it treats the figure of merit as a black box.
