Machine-learned tuning of artificial Kitaev chains from tunneling spectroscopy measurements

We demonstrate reliable machine-learned tuning of quantum-dot-based artificial Kitaev chains to Majorana sweet spots, using the covariance matrix adaptation algorithm. We show that a loss function based on local tunneling spectroscopy features of a chain with two additional sensor dots added at its...

We show that a loss function based on local tunneling spectroscopy features of a chain with two additional sensor dots added at its ends provides a reliable metric to navigate parameter space and find points where crossed Andreev reflection and elastic cotunneling between neighboring sites balance in such a way to yield near-zero-energy modes with very high Majorana quality. We simulate tuning of two- and three-site Kitaev chains, where the loss function is found from calculating the low-energy spectrum of a model Hamiltonian that includes Coulomb interactions and finite Zeeman splitting. In both cases, the algorithm consistently converges towards high-quality sweet spots. Since tunneling spectroscopy provides one global metric for tuning all on-site potentials simultaneously, this presents a promising way towards tuning longer Kitaev chains, which are required for achieving topological protection of the Majorana modes.We acknowledge funding via the QuantERA II Programme under Grant Agreement No. 101017733, the work being part of INTFELLES-Project No. 333990, which is funded by the Research Council of Norway (RCN).

description We demonstrate reliable machine-learned tuning of quantum-dot-based artificial Kitaev chains to Majorana sweet spots, using the covariance matrix adaptation algorithm. We show that a loss function based on local tunneling spectroscopy features of a chain with two additional sensor dots added at its ends provides a reliable metric to navigate parameter space and find points where crossed Andreev reflection and elastic cotunneling between neighboring sites balance in such a way to yield near-zero-energy modes with very high Majorana quality. We simulate tuning of two- and three-site Kitaev chains, where the loss function is found from calculating the low-energy spectrum of a model Hamiltonian that includes Coulomb interactions and finite Zeeman splitting. In both cases, the algorithm consistently converges towards high-quality sweet spots. Since tunneling spectroscopy provides one global metric for tuning all on-site potentials simultaneously, this presents a promising way towards tuning longer Kitaev chains, which are required for achieving topological protection of the Majorana modes.
