Paper on Cover Page! Our collaboration with NPL has produced an important breakthrough in reducing the time it takes to carry out measurements of semiconductor electron pumps. A new machine learning algorithm has been developed for automatically tuning and characterising single-electron pump devices in a multiplexed array. An approximately 8-fold reduction in data acquisition time
