All-rf-based coarse-tuning algorithm for quantum devices using machine learning
Radio-frequency measurements could satisfy DiVincenzo’s readout criterion in future large-scale solid-state quantum processors, as they allow for high bandwidths and frequency multiplexing. However, the scalability potential of this readout technique can only be leveraged if quantum device tuning is performed using exclusively radio-frequency measurements, that is, without resorting to current measurements. We demonstrate an algorithm that performs automatic coarse tuning of double quantum dots with only radio-frequency measurements by exploiting their bandwidth and impedance matching. The tuning was completed within a few minutes with minimal prior knowledge about the device. Our results show that it is possible to eliminate the need for transport measurements for quantum-dot tuning, paving the way for more scalable device architectures.
