Bridging the reality gap in quantum devices with physics-aware machine learning
The discrepancies between reality and simulation impede the optimisation and scalability of solid-state quantum devices. Disorder induced by the unpredictable distribution of material defects is one of the major contributions to the reality gap. We bridge this gap using physics-aware machine learning, in particular, using an approach combining a physical model, deep learning, Gaussian random field, and Bayesian inference. This approach has enabled us to infer the disorder potential of a nanoscale electronic device from electron transport data. This inference is validated by verifying the algorithm's predictions about the gate voltage values required for a laterally-defined quantum dot device in AlGaAs/GaAs to produce current features corresponding to a double quantum dot regime.
