Conclusions
classical learning techniques
heuristical methods
can be applied to quantum systems
much more flexible than analytic methodsbut usually perform worse
potential to work on extremely complex systems, for which
good analytic methods do not exist
system is too complex for humans to understand
classical engineered systems: aircrafts, Internet . . .autonomous feedback control systems maintain stability & predictability
no certainty about quantum state of system⇒ involved integrals over probability distributions of possible system states
automated learning: stabilize complex engineered quantum systems
