Robust Online Hamiltonian Learning
In this work we combine two distinct machine learning methodologies,
sequential Monte Carlo and Bayesian experimental design, and apply them to the
problem of inferring the dynamical parameters of a quantum system. We design
the algorithm with practicality in mind by including parameters that control
trade-offs between the requirements on computational and experimental
resources. The algorithm can be implemented online (during experimental data
collection), avoiding the need for storage and post-processing. Most
importantly, our algorithm is capable of learning Hamiltonian parameters even
when the parameters change from experiment-to-experiment, and also when
additional noise processes are present and unknown. The algorithm also
numerically estimates the Cramer-Rao lower bound, certifying its own
performance.Comment: 24 pages, 12 figures; to appear in New Journal of Physic
