Specifically, HRL Laboratories wants to use a three-dot system with a configuration of one electron per dot. However, the process of tuning up the dots is labor-intensive and extremely slow to do by hand. The goal is to automate the process via machine learning techniques; we use deep reinforcement learning as our machine learning technique.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HRL Laboratories LLC Computer Science\/Physics, 2018-19 Liaison(s): Se\u00e1n Meenehan &#8217;08, Emily Pritchett Advisor(s): Peter Saeta Students(s): Corbin Bethurem (PM-F), Evan [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[140,161],"tags":[162],"class_list":["post-12098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computer-science","category-physics","tag-hrl-laboratories-llc"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12098\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
