Abstract

The identifiability of model parameters for open quantum systems is a crucial prerequisite for quantum control. By investigating two-level dephasing open quantum systems, we discuss under which conditions the information about Hamiltonian and dephasing parameters can be obtained. Using simulated experiments Time-series analysis and Bayesian strategy for extracting model parameters from limited and noisy data are both adopted and compared.

Quantum system identification: Hamiltonian estimation using spectral and Bayesian analysis

Sophie G Schirmer, Frank C Langbein

Identifying the Hamiltonian of a quantum system from experimental data is considered. General limits on the identifiability of model parameters with limited experimental resources are investigated, and a specific Bayesian estimation procedure is proposed and evaluated for a model system where a-priori information about the Hamiltonian's structure is available.

Dynamical identification of open quantum systems

Hideo Mabuchi

I propose a quantum-trajectories approach to parametric identification of the effective Hamiltonian for a Markovian open quantum system, and discuss an application motivated by recent experiments in cavity quantum electrodynamics. This example illustrates a strategy for quantum parameter estimation that efficiently utilizes the information carried by correlations between measurements distributed in time.

Quantum system identification by Bayesian analysis of noisy data: Beyond Hamiltonian tomography

S. G. Schirmer, Daniel K. L. Oi

We consider how to characterize the dynamics of a quantum system from a restricted set of initial states and measurements using Bayesian analysis. Previous work has shown that Hamiltonian systems can be well estimated from analysis of noisy data. Here we show how to generalize this approach to systems with moderate dephasing in the eigenbasis of the Hamiltonian. We illustrate the process for a range of three-level quantum systems. The results suggest that the Bayesian estimation of the frequencies and dephasing rates is generally highly accurate and the main source of errors are errors in the reconstructed Hamiltonian basis.

Identifiability and characterization of transmon qutrits through Bayesian experimental design

Sohail R. Reddy

Robust control of a quantum system is essential to utilize the current noisy quantum hardware to its full potential, such as quantum algorithms. To achieve such a goal, a systematic search for an optimal control for any given experiment is essential. The design of optimal control pulses requires accurate numerical models and, therefore, accurate characterization of the system parameters. We present an online Bayesian approach for quantum characterization of qutrit systems, which automatically and systematically identifies optimal experiments that provide maximum information on the system parameters, thereby greatly reducing the number of experiments that need to be performed on the quantum testbed. Unlike most characterization protocols that provide point-estimates of the parameters, the proposed approach is able to estimate their probability distribution. The applicability of the Bayesian experimental design technique was demonstrated on test problems, where each experiment was defined by a parameterized control pulse. In addition to this, we also present an approach for iterative pulse extension, which is robust under uncertainties in transition frequencies and coherence times, and shot noise, despite being initialized with wide uninformative priors. Furthermore, we provide a mathematical proof of the theoretical identifiability of the model parameters and present conditions on the quantum state under which the parameters are identifiable. The proof and conditions for identifiability are presented for both closed and open quantum systems using the Schrödinger equation and the Lindblad master equation, respectively.

Experimental design and identifiability of model parameters for quantum systems

Ming Zhang, S. G. Schirmer, Hong‐Yi Dai +2 more

This paper explores the experimental design and identifiability problems for both closed and open quantum systems. In general, the identifiability of quantum systems depends on both the choice of model sets and experimental design. The limits of identifiability in certain experimental settings and ways to improve the identifiability of model parameters by changing experimental conditions are investigated. Furthermore, it is exemplified that the experiment design in the domain of quantum system identification at least include the three following aspects: (1) initialization procedures, (2) measurement methods, and (3) the choice of coherent control.
