Tokamak Plasma Magnetic Confinement Control

License: arXiv preprint (copyright held by authors) · Updated 2026-02-24

Controllers were trained in simulation on a tokamak model and then deployed on the real device, shaping the plasma by commanding magnetic coils in real time - including demanding configurations such as the double snowflake.

Why it matters for industry: It demonstrates the full loop that engineering teams care about: physics-based simulator for training, sim-to-real transfer, and real-time closed-loop control on hardware.
