SymQNet: Amortized Acquisition for Low-Latency Adaptive Hamiltonian Learning

arXiv:2606.12808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adaptive Hamiltonian learning is central to calibrating and characterizing quantum devices. In an adaptive controller, choosing the next experiment is itself a computation. Bayesian design rules are recomputed after every posterior update, and that step can take seconds. Across hundreds of shots, those seconds become a significant wall-clock cost for adaptivity. We introduce SymQNet, an amortized reinforcement-learning approach for low-latency adaptive Hamiltonian learning. SymQNet learns a posterior-conditioned acquisition policy offline, then

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing complexity and scale of quantum device calibration highlight the need for more efficient adaptive learning methods, which traditional Bayesian approaches struggle to provide in real-time.

Why it’s important

This development addresses a critical bottleneck in quantum computing, speeding up the calibration and characterization of quantum devices, which is essential for scaling and practical applications.

What changes

Adaptive Hamiltonian learning processes, previously burdened by high latency, can now be significantly accelerated through amortized reinforcement learning, enabling more dynamic and efficient quantum device control.
