Agent-assisted experimental strategy transfer across quantum processors
Abstract
Progress in quantum hardware requires a growing volume of experiments across diverse devices, straining the capacity of human experts. Automation remains challenging because device differences and drift can render workflows developed on one processor unsuitable for another. Here we present an agent-assisted experimental strategy for conducting experiments across three-qubit nuclear magnetic resonance processors. Developed on one processor and applied sequentially to four others, the strategy uses an agent to assess experimental evidence, select subsequent measurements and adapt procedures, with operators providing instrument preparation and physical intervention. Using three-qubit Grover state preparation as a common task, each deployment combined device-specific calibration, control-pulse optimization and measurement. The experimental strategy was refined through sequential deployment, and all four processors ultimately produced outputs dominated by their respective marked states. The marked-state populations of the reconstructed dominant eigenstates ranged from 0.910 to 0.959, with relative deviations below 3.8% from the ideal value of 0.945. These results demonstrate that an agent-assisted experimental strategy can be reused and refined across processors to realize a common quantum task, providing a basis for scaling experimental practice beyond individual devices.
