Abstract
Quantum computers based on cold-atom arrays offer long-lived qubits with programmable connectivity, yet their progress toward fault-tolerant operation is limited by the relatively low fidelity of site-selective local control. We introduce an artificial-intelligence (AI) framework that overcomes this limitation. Trained on atom-laser dynamics, a deep neural network autonomously designs composite pulses that improve local control fidelities tenfold while remaining compatible with existing control hardware. We further demonstrate the robustness of these pulses against optical aberrations and beam misalignment. This approach establishes AI-trained pulse compilation for high-fidelity qubit control and can be readily extended to other atom-like platforms, such as trapped ions and solid-state color centers.
