Dynamical trajectory tracking control in quantum systems

Abstract

Based on model reference adaptive control theory, we design a control law for a given closed quantum system model by means of the Lyapunov stability theorem by choosing a time-varying objective function as the reference model. Meanwhile, the problems of singularities and a very large value of the control fields during the tracking are solved by using an adaptive tracking algorithm. The simulation experiments realize the tracking task from the arbitrary initial states to the time-varying objective function. Under the effect of control law, the state of control system can track from the arbitrary initial state to the state of objective system. Simulation results demonstrate the ability of the control method proposed to adaptively adjust the control laws and real-time track dynamic target system.

Tracking of quantum state in Markovian systems by model reference adaptive control

Qiang Ke, Yinghua Ji, Juju Hu

In quantum state transfer and tracking, control of quantum states are effective against decoherence caused by external environment and information processing. In this paper, utilizing model reference adaptive control theory and Lyapunov stability theorem, we derive the adaptive law for the model reference adaptive system. Then we design the Lyapunov control law by double control functions and we investigate the orbit tracking of quantum state for Markovian quantum system. Meanwhile, through counteracting the shift term by simplization, the control law avoids oscillating state trajectory in a two-level Markovian quantum system. Finally, numerical simulations for a two-level open quantum system validate the effectiveness of the method.

Trajectory Tracking Control for Non-Markovian open quantum systems

Yu-Qiu Zhou, Shuang Cong

A control method for trajectory tracking in non-Markovian open quantum systems is proposed in this paper. By inducing the error between the controlled state and the target state as the error state, the trajectory tracking problem of the quantum system is divided into two steps, which the regulation control of the error state and the keeping control of the error state. With the help of Lyapunov stability theorem, the tracking control law is designed to enable the non-Markovian open quantum system to track the evolutionary target quantum system over time. The control parameters are adjusted by simulation experiments, and the numerical simulation experiments are carried out. The tracking control of the quantum system when the initial states of the controlled system and the initial states of the target system are superposition states is implemented in simulation experiments. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed control method and the analysis is given.

Switching optimal adaptive trajectory tracking control of quantum systems

Zeinab Sahebi, Majid Yarahmadi

Summary In this paper, a switching optimal adaptive controller for tracking a time‐dependent trajectory in finite‐dimensional closed quantum systems is proposed. The issue of intrinsic singularities in trajectory tracking control of quantum systems leads to a sharp rise in the control amplitude. To overcome this drawback, a switching optimal adaptive quantum controller is designed based on Lyapunov stability theory and optimal quantum control approach. A state‐dependent strategy is considered to select the switching signal. The new switching controller adjusts the quantum state so that its population traces the desired dynamic trajectory and simultaneously eliminates the effects of singularities and reduces the control amplitude. The proposed controller is tested successfully for population transfer in a 4‐level closed quantum system in a simulation experiment. Both issues of reduction of the tracking error and control intensity along with a significant decrease in the number of singular points are well illustrated by simulation experiment as the advantages of the proposed method.

Trajectory tracking control of quantum systems

Shuang Cong, Jianxiu Liu

For quantum state trajectory tracking of density matrix in Liouville equation of quantum systems, with the help of concept in quantum system control, one can apply unitary transformation both to controlled system and free-evolutionary target system such as to change the time-variant and non-stationary target system into a stationary state. Therefore, the quantum state trajectory tracking problem becomes a steering one. State steering control law of the system transformed is designed by means of the Lyapunov stability theorem. Finally, numerical simulation experiments are given for a five-level energy quantum system. The comparison analysis of original system’s trajectory tracking with other method illustrates the advantage in control time of the method proposed.

Trajectory tracking of quantum states based on Lyapunov method

Jianxiu Liu, Shuang Cong

A Lyapunov-based approach of trajectory tracking in Liouville equation for quantum systems is proposed. By selecting density matrix of controlled system as the system state, and defining the error between controlled state and target one as an error state, the paper regards this error as a new controlled state of system. In such a way the quantum state trajectory tracking problem is changed into the state regulation problem by driving the error state to zero. The control law is designed according to the Lyapunov stability theorem, which can be applied to track different kinds of quantum states including pure state, superposition state and mixed-state. Finally, numerical simulation experiments and results analysis are given.
