“…Every optimization round, the next θ point is decided by maximizing a utility function over the surrogate model (see methods IV C). BO has been applied in quantum control [31][32][33][34], as well as in experimental variational algorithms [35,36], however its use in VQE and the exploitation of its global surrogate model remains largely unexplored.…”
Section: B Bayesian Optimisation and Boismentioning
We introduce a new optimisation method for variational quantum algorithms and experimentally demonstrate a 100-fold improvement in efficiency compared to naive implementations. The effectiveness of our approach is shown by obtaining multi-dimensional energy surfaces for small molecules and a spin model. Our method solves related variational problems in parallel by exploiting the global nature of Bayesian optimisation and sharing information between different optimisers. Parallelisation makes our method ideally suited to next generation of variational problems with many physical degrees of freedom. This addresses a key challenge in scaling-up quantum algorithms towards demonstrating quantum advantage for problems of real-world interest.
“…We employed Bayesian optimisation to overcome this difficulty. The details are explained in our previous work on Bayesian optimisation of evaporative cooling [25]. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the fluorescence image, it is necessary to increase photon scattering, which inevitably leads to the heating of atoms.…”

“…A drawback of this scheme is the relatively large number of experimental parameters required for the cooling method. However, we have tuned them efficiently using machine learning based on Bayesian optimisation [23,24,25,26,27].…”
We demonstrate single-site-resolved fluorescence imaging of ultracold 87 Rb atoms in a triangular optical lattice by employing Raman sideband cooling. Combining a Raman transition at the D1 line and a photon scattering through an optical pumping of the D2 line, we obtain images with low background noise. The Bayesian optimisation of 11 experimental parameters for fluorescence imaging with Raman sideband cooling enables us to achieve single-atom detection with a high fidelity of (96.3 ± 1.3)%. Single-atom and single-site resolved detection in a triangular optical lattice paves the way for the direct observation of spin correlations or entanglement in geometrically frustrated systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
