On the other hand, massive potential gains in performance over standard, {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}experience-driven{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} layouts are in principle within our reach if an objective function fully aligned with the final goals of the instrument is maximized through a systematic search of the configuration space. The stochastic nature of the involved quantum processes make the modeling of these systems an intractable problem from a classical statistics point of view, yet the construction of a fully differentiable pipeline and the use of deep learning techniques may allow the simultaneous optimization of all design parameters.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=6096), last updated on Fri, 26 Apr 2024 16:06:57 +0000", doi="10.1016/j.revip.2023.100085", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.13818", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.revip.2023.100085" }
