Abstract
This chapter presents a brief introduction to learning control of quantum systems. Gradient-based learning methods, evolutionary computation algorithms, and reinforcement learning approaches are outlined for searching optimal or robust fields in quantum control problems. The state-of-the-art methods and future directions in learning control of quantum systems are discussed.
