Polar molecules are a promising platform for achieving scalable quantum information processing because of their long-range electric dipole-dipole interactions. Here, we take the coupled ultracold CaF molecules in an external electric field with gradient as qubits and concentrate on the creation of intermolecular entanglement with the method of deep reinforcement learning (RL). After sufficient training episodes, the educated RL agents can discover optimal time-dependent control fields that steer the molecular systems from separate states to two-qubit and three-qubit entangled states with high fidelities. We analyze the fidelities and the negativities (characterizing entanglement) of the generated states as a function of training episodes. Moreover, we present the population dynamics of the molecular systems under the influence of control fields discovered by the agents. Compared with the schemes for creating molecular entangled states based on optimal control theory, some conditions (e.g., molecular spacing and electric field gradient) adopted in this work are more feasible in the experiment. Our results demonstrate the potential of machine learning to effectively solve quantum control problems in polar molecular systems.
