Gate Set Tomography on the Nitrogen-Vacancy Center

In this thesis, gate set tomography (GST) has been conducted on the nitrogen vacancy center (NV). Gate set tomography is a protocol for characterization of logic operations (gates) on quantum computing processors. The NV’s electron served as a qubit. The quantum circuits were run both experimentally as well as on an NV-simulator. GST is...

Learning What to Attend to: Using bisimulation metrics to explore and improve upon what a deep reinforcement learning agent learns

We analyze the internal representations that deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents form of their environments and whether these representations correspond to what such agents should ideally learn. The purpose of this comparison is both a better understanding of why certain algorithms or network architectures perform better than others and the...

Learning What to Attend to: Using Bisimulation Metrics to Explore and Improve Upon What a Deep Reinforcement Learning Agent Learns

Recent years have seen a surge of algorithms and architectures for deep Re-<br/>inforcement Learning (RL), many of which have shown remarkable success for<br/>various problems. Yet, little work has attempted to relate the performance of<br/>these algorithms and architectures to what the resulting deep RL agents actu-<br/>ally learn, and whether...
