Artificial Kitaev chains have been proposed as a platform realising so-called “poor man’s Majorana bound states” (PMMs), lacking the topological protection of genuine Majorana bound states but still retaining non-abelian properties. These PMMs are found at discrete “sweet spots” for the Hamiltonian parameters, and the challenge in an experimental setting would be to tune the system to such a sweet spot. A recent proposal for how to experimentally probe the quality of sweet spots in artificial Kitaev chains [1] opens the door for auto-tuning of such systems. We investigate the use of Machine Learning based on an evolutionary strategy to automatically tune the Hamiltonian parameters to a sweet spot that could host PMMs.
