</span></span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We develop a framework that connects learning with classical and quantumcontrol, and this framework yields adaptive quantum-control policies that beat the standard quantum
limit, inspires new methods for improving quantum-gate design for quantum computing, and suggests new ways to apply classical and quantum machinelearning to control.
