Enhanced Quantum Synchronization Via Quantum Machine Learning

The quantum synchronization between a pair of two-level systems inside two coupled cavities is studied. By using a digital–analog decomposition of the master equation that rules the system dynamics, it is shown that this approach leads to quantum synchronization between both two-level systems. Moreover, in this digital–analog block decomposition, the fundamental elements of a quantum machine learning protocol can be identified, in which the agent and the environment (learning units) interact through a mediating system, namely, the register. If the algorithm can be additionally equipped with a classical feedback mechanism, which consists of projective measurements in the register, reinitialization of the register state, and local conditional operations on the agent and environment subspace, a powerful and flexible quantum machine learning protocol emerges. Indeed, numerical simulations show that this protocol enhances the synchronization process, even when every subsystem experiences different loss/decoherence mechanisms, and gives the flexibility to choose the synchronization state. Finally, an implementation is proposed, based on current technologies in superconducting circuits. © 2019 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
