• Abstract: Measurement is an essential component for robust and practical quantum computation. For superconducting qubits, the measurement process involves the effective manipulation of the joint qubit-resonator dynamics, and should ideally provide the highest quality for qubit state discrimination with the shortest readout pulse and resonator reset time. Here, we harness model-free reinforcement learning (RL) together with a tailored training environment to achieve this multi-pronged optimization task. We demonstrate on the IBM quantum device that the measurement pulse obtained by the RL agent not only successfully achieves state-of-the-art performance, with an assignment error of $(4.6 \pm 0.4)\times10^{-3}$, but also executes the readout and the subsequent resonator reset almost 3x faster than the system's default process. Furthermore, the learned waveforms are robust against realistic parameter drifts and follow a generalized analytical form, making them readily implementable in practice with no significant computation overhead. Our results provide an effective readout strategy to boost the performance of superconducting quantum processors and demonstrate the prowess of RL in providing optimal and experimentally informed solutions for complex quantum information processing tasks.

• Parameterized process characterization with reduced resource requirements [0.5735035463793008]
  This work proposes an alternative approach that requires significantly fewer resources for unitary process characterization without prior knowledge of the process. By measuring the quantum process as rotated through the X and Y axes on the Sphere Bloch, we can acquire enough information to reconstruct the quantum process matrix $chi$ and measure its fidelity. We demonstrate in numerical experiments that the method can improve gate fidelity via a noise reduction in the imaginary part of the process matrix, along with a stark decrease in the number of experiments needed to perform the characterization.
