Path programming control strategy of quantum state transfer

Abstract

The state transfer of closed quantum systems in the interaction picture is studied. The convergent problem encountered in designing control laws based on the Lyapunov method is solved by the well constructed observable operator and a path programming control strategy. It is proved that the condition for the target state being a stable point in the Lyapunov's sense is the coherent vectors of the observable operator and the target state must be in opposite directions. For the local optimisation limitation of the Lyapunov-based method, the path programming control strategy is proposed, which is used to change the distribution of stationary points or choose a transition path by appropriately selecting intermediate target states. Comparative numerical system simulation experiments are implemented on a four-level quantum system and the experimental results are analysed.

Convergent control strategy of state in open quantum systems

Shuang Cong, Fei Yang

A control strategy of quantum states of open quantum system based on Lyapunov method is proposed. On the basis of choosing the average of observable operators as a Lyapunov function, the control laws are designed in interaction picture. We analyze the largest invariant set of the controlled system via Barbalat's Lemma. Based on some assumptions of Hamiltonians, we propose a sufficient condition of the observable operator to guarantee the convergence of the open quantum system, and proof that the proposed strategy can make any pure target state in decoherence-free subspace be globally asymptotic stable under the sufficient condition. Also, we provide a method to construct the observable operator via Schmidt orthogonalization. Numerical experiments on a three-level system validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

CONVERGENCE OF STATE CONTROL OF OPEN QUANTUM SYSTEM IN DECOHERENCE-FREE SUBSPACES

Fei Yang

A convergent state control strategy of open quantum system based on Lyapunov method is proposed for the target state being a pure state in decoherence-free subspaces. Based on the assumptions of all the transition frequencies being different and all the levels being directly coupled,a sufficient condition is proposed for the observation operator to make that the largest invariant set only contains target state.On the basis of choosing the average of observable operators as a Lyapunov function,the control laws are designed in interaction picture and the largest invariant set of the controlled system is analyzed via Barbalat's Lemma. It is shown that any pure target state in decoherence-free subspace is globally asymptotic stable under the sufficient condition given,and the system controlled could be transferred to target state from arbitrary initial state.Also,a method is provided to construct the observation operator via Schmidt orthogonalization.Numerical experiments on a three-level system verify the validity of the proposed control strategy.

A Convergent Control Strategy for Quantum Systems

Shuang Cong, Yuesheng Lou, Jianxiu Liu +1 more

Abstract In the interaction picture, a sufficient and necessary condition that guarantees the convergence of closed quantum control system is proposed in this paper. Theoretical derivation and the proof show that it is possible to achieve the convergence to the target state by constructing an observable operator in an energy function and selecting control Hamiltonians. Numerical simulation experiments on a four-level system verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Control of quantum states in decoherence-free subspaces

Shuang Cong, Fei Yang

The problem of quantum state control in open quantum systems based on the Lyapunov method is studied. The control laws are designed to drive the system to a pure target state in decoherence-free subspace (DFS) in the interaction picture, where the average of an observable operator P is chosen as a Lyapunov function. By analyzing the positive limit set via Barbalat’s lemma, we propose a sufficient condition on the observable operator such that the positive limit set only contains the target state. Under this condition, it is proved that the control laws can drive the open system to any pure target state in DFS in the interaction picture. Also, we provide a method to construct the observable operator via Schmidt orthogonalization. Numerical simulations on a three-level system validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

TRAJECTORY TRACKING THEORY OF QUANTUM SYSTEMS

Cong Shuan

The orbit tracking problem of a free-evolutionary target system in closed quantum systems is solved by changing it into the state transferring problem with the help of unitary transformation.The control law designed by the Lyapunov stability theorem employs a carefully constructed virtual mechanical quantity P to ensure the system convergence.The virtual mechanical quantity P is chosen by two approaches according to the forms of limit set,where P = —pf is suitable for regular limit set and a new different P is constructed for irregular one.The proposed tracking control theory is demonstrated on a four-level quantum system by means of numerical simulation experiments.

State transfer control in non-Markovian open quantum systems

Long-Zhen HU, Shuang Cong, Fei Yang +1 more

The weak-coupled two-level open quantum system described by non-Markovian time-convolution-less master equation is investigated in this paper. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, the system control laws used to transfer state are designed. The characteristics of the purity changes in the non-Markovian open quantum systems are studied. The effectiveness of the control system is ensured by adjusting the parameters of control laws. Three simulation experiments are implemented under the Matlab environment, they are the states transfer from the eigenstate to the superposition state, from the superposition state to the superposition state, and from the mixed state to the superposition state, respectively. Numerical experimental results show that the target state can be reached from different initial states under the action of the control laws designed, and demonstrate the effectiveness of quantum Lyapunov control method proposed.
