Methods, systems, and apparatus for training quantum evolutions using sub-logical controls. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of accessing quantum hardware, wherein the quantum hardware includes a quantum system comprising one or more multi-level quantum subsystems; one or more control devices that operate on the one or more multi-level quantum subsystems according to one or more respective control parameters that relate to a parameter of a physical environment in which the multi-level quantum subsystems are located; initializing the quantum system in an initial quantum state, wherein an initial set of control parameters form a parameterization that defines the initial quantum state; obtaining one or more quantum system observables and one or more target quantum states; and iteratively training until an occurrence of a completion event.
