Continuous Quantum Feedback Control via Kraus-Parameterized Belief Reinforcement Learning
A preprint on arXiv presents a reinforcement learning framework for continuous quantum feedback control. The method parameterizes the controller's belief state using Kraus operators and trains policies with belief-based reinforcement learning, aiming to operate under continuous measurement.

If simulation results hold, the approach could be integrated into existing continuous-measurement experiments on superconducting or trapped-ion platforms as a drop-in controller, reducing the need for hand-designed filters.
Continuous weak measurement and real-time feedback hardware already exist in several labs; a model-free RL policy that learns from measurement records would be compatible with current control electronics once trained offline.
