Open-loop control design via parametrization applied in a two-level quantum system model

Abstract

In the design of quantum computing devices of the future the basic element is the qubit. It is a two-level quantum system which may describe population transfer from one steady-state to another controlled by a coherent laser field. A four-dimensional real-variable differential equation model is constructed from the complex-valued two-level model describing the wave function of the system. The state transition matrix of the model is constructed via the Wei-Norman technique and Lie algebraic methodology. The idea of parametrization using flatness-based control, is applied to construct feasible input-output pairs of the model. This input drives the state of the system from the given initial state to the given final state in a finite time producing the corresponding output of the pair. The population transfer is obtained by nullifying part of the state vector via careful selection of the parameter functions.

This work considers the open-loop control problem of steering a two level quantum system, from an initial to a final condition. The model of this system evolves on the state space X = SU(2), having two inputs that corresponds to the complex amplitude of a resonant laser field. A symmetry preserving flat output is constructed using a fully geometric setting. Using a particular parametrization, some simulation results of the flatness based control are presented for the Hadamard gate.

Control and optimization

Bruce W. Shore

The examples of quantum-state manipulation and coherent excitation discussed in this monograph present idealizations of actual quantum systems, simplifications that allow straightforward theoretical description. As one moves beyond the models of isolated atoms, few essential states, and transform-limited pulses to deal with more realistic models that can describe experimental reality, the basic tools described hitherto require elaboration and extension. Theoretical treatments of large molecules and chemical reactions involving laser-induced changes rely upon numerical simulation more than on analytic solutions. This final chapter discusses two of the themes applicable to that work: control theory and optimization. Control theory Classical control theory, as followed by mathematicians and engineers, deals with procedures for manipulating the input (the “controls”) of a dynamically changing system to obtain a desired output of the system. In a closed-loop control system some device measures the output and, using a feedback loop, alters the input (via a control element ) to bring the output closer to conformity with a goal. These techniques typically find application in control of experiments but they also work for theoretical modeling. An open-loop control system is one without such feedback; the controls are adjusted in accord with some established plan. Design of a suitable control mechanism (a control function ratioing output to input) must ensure that the system is stable (i.e. a finite input signal produces a finite output signal) and controllable (i.e. it is possible to obtain the desired output).

New Families of Single—Qubit Control Fields: An Algorithm

Marco Enríquez, Alfonso Jaimes-Nájera

Abstract The dynamics of a two-level system interacting with a new class of analytically solvable driving fields is analyzed. Such fields are obtained using an inverse-engineering approach, which allows to exactly factorize the correspondent time-evolution operator via the Wei-Norman theorem. This technique is presented as an algorithm and using an example we show that the free parameters involved can be used to tune some aspects of the dynamics on demand such as the atomic population inversion.
