Real-time virtual circuits for plasma shape control via neural network emulators

ArXi:2605.14939v1 Announce Type: cross Reliable position and shape control in tokamak plasmas requires accurate real-time regulation of several strongly coupled shape parameters. The control vectors that disentangle these couplings, referred to as \textit{virtual circuits} (VCs), enable independent shape parameter control for a specific Grad--Shafrano (GS) equilibrium. Numerical calculation of VCs is not currently feasible in real time,. therefore.
