Quantum error correction can constantly recalibrate a processor

Quantum error correction can constantly recalibrate a processor

Reinforcement learning uses error information to adjust control algorithms.

Autonomous Quantum Computer Calibration

A Google-led research team has demonstrated a quantum computer that continuously learns from its own errors during operation. This breakthrough replaces a major bottleneck in quantum computing with an artificial intelligence system that adapts as conditions shift, improving reliability and reducing interruptions. The study, published in Nature, details a reinforcement learning system that utilizes the ongoing stream of error-correction data prod…
