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

arXiv:2605.26925v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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, establish

Why this matters
Why now
