• Abstract summary: A number of scientific problems require searching for signals, which may be time consuming and inefficient if done manually. Here, we describe a probabilistic active learning approach that not only runs autonomously, but can also directly provide locations for informative measurements. The resulting benefits can be demonstrated on a real TAS experiment and a benchmark including numerous different excitations.

• Abstract: Neutron scattering experiments at three-axes spectrometers (TAS) investigate magnetic and lattice excitations by measuring intensity distributions to understand the origins of materials properties. The high demand and limited availability of beam time for TAS experiments however raise the natural question whether we can improve their efficiency and make better use of the experimenter's time. In fact, there are a number of scientific problems that require searching for signals, which may be time consuming and inefficient if done manually due to measurements in uninformative regions. Here, we describe a probabilistic active learning approach that not only runs autonomously, i.e., without human interference, but can also directly provide locations for informative measurements in a mathematically sound and methodologically robust way by exploiting log-Gaussian processes. Ultimately, the resulting benefits can be demonstrated on a real TAS experiment and a benchmark including numerous different excitations.

  Using simulations and real data, we investigate the capabilities of a Deep Neural Network approach to produce activity free Doppler measurements of stars. We demonstrate that the RV-independent approach can drastically reduce spurious Doppler variability from known physical effects. We observe a good match of the correction with the observed variability, but we also find that the noise reduction is not as good as in the simulations.

  We introduce and experimentally demonstrate a quantum sensing protocol to sample and reconstruct the auto-correlation of a noise process. Walsh noise spectroscopy method exploits simple sequences of spin-flip pulses to generate a complete basis of digital filters. We experimentally reconstruct the auto-correlation function of the effective magnetic field produced by the nuclear-spin bath on the electronic spin of a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond.

• Spectroscopic data de-noising via training-set-free deep learning method [0.0]
  We develop a de-noising method for extracting intrinsic spectral information without the need for a training set. This is possible as our method leverages the self-correlation information of the spectra themselves. It preserves the intrinsic energy band features and thus facilitates further analysis and processing.

• Provable RL with Exogenous Distractors via Multistep Inverse Dynamics [85.52408288789164]
  Real-world applications of reinforcement learning (RL) require the agent to deal with high-dimensional observations such as those generated from a megapixel camera. Prior work has addressed such problems with representation learning, through which the agent can provably extract endogenous, latent state information from raw observations. However, such approaches can fail in the presence of temporally correlated noise in the observations.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

  Machine learning inspired variational methods provide a promising route towards scalable state characterization for quantum simulators. We benchmark and compare several such approaches by applying them to measured data from an experiment producing two-qubit entangled states. We find that in the presence of experimental imperfections and noise, confining the variational manifold to physical states greatly improves the quality of the reconstructed states.
