Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and the Albert Einstein Institute have shown that reinforcement learning can outperform state-of-the-art techniques for shuttling ions in trapped-ion quantum computers. The machine learning approach optimizes how ions are moved within the processor, a key bottleneck for scaling the technology. The results were published in Physical Review Research.
