Trajectory tracking of quantum states based on Lyapunov method

Jianxiu Liu, Shuang Cong

Published Dec 1, 2011• 10 citations

Abstract

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.

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 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.

A unified trajectory tracking control for of N-dimensional closed quantum systems

Yu-Qiu Zhou, Shuang Cong, Fangfang Meng

A Lyapunov-based unified control method for quantum state trajectory tracking control is proposed in this paper. By inducing the error between the controlled state and the target state as error state, the trajectory tracking control problem of the quantum system is transformed into the regular control problem of systematic error state. Through an interaction picture transformation, the spin effect is eliminated. The unified control method is designed in the trajectory tracking control for the quantum system which can also solve the problems caused by the non-ideal quantum systems, where the free Hamiltonian of the system is not strongly regular and (or) not commutes with the target state, and (or) the control Hamiltonian is not fully connected. The unified trajectory tracking control proposed can drive the system from an arbitrary initial state to an arbitrary target state and achieve the purpose of tracking. The numerical simulation experiments and results analyses are given.

Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the method proposed. We also explore the relationship of effect between control parameters and the error of the control system.

Trajectory Tracking of Stochastic Open Quantum Systems Based on Online Estimated State Feedback Control

Shuang Cong, Yuqiu Zhou

Abstract An online estimated state feedback control for trajectory tracking in stochastic open quantum systems is proposed in this paper, which is based on the Lyapunov‐based control method. 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 transformed into the error state transition control problem. The quantum state online estimation method QST‐OADM is applied to estimate the state of the error state system online, and the tracking control laws are designed by using the quantum Lyapunov stability theorem for driving the stochastic open quantum system from an arbitrary initial state to an arbitrary trajectory. The numerical simulation experiments and results analyses are given.
