New paradigm for `auto-tuning` quantum bits could overcome major engineering hurdle
(PHYSorg.com Physics)

A high-end race car engine needs all its components tuned and working together precisely to deliver top-quality performance. The same can be said about the processor inside a quantum computer, whose delicate bits must be adjusted in just the right way before it can perform a calculation. Who`s the right mechanic for this quantum tuneup job? According to a team that includes scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), it`s an artificial intelligence, that`s who.
