Sampled-data design for robust decoherence control of a single qubit

Abstract

This paper presents a sampled-data approach for the robust decoherence control of a single qubit. The required robustness is defined using a sliding mode domain and the control law is designed offline and then utilized online with a single qubit having bounded uncertainties. Two classes of uncertainties are considered involving the system Hamiltonian and the coupling strength of the system-environment interaction. Three cases are analyzed in detail including amplitude damping decoherence, phase damping decoherence and depolarizing decoherence. Sampling periods are specifically designed for these cases to guarantee the required robustness. A sufficient condition is presented for guiding the design of unitary control for the case with amplitude damping decoherence. The proposed approach has potential applications in quantum error-correction and in constructing robust quantum gates.

Sampled-Data Design for Robust Control of a Single Qubit

Daoyi Dong, Ian R. Petersen, HERSCHEL A. RABITZ

This technical note presents a sampled-data approach to the robust control of a single qubit (quantum bit). The required robustness is defined using a sliding mode domain and the control law is designed offline and then utilized online with a single qubit having bounded uncertainties. Two classes of uncertainties are considered involving the system Hamiltonian and the coupling strength of the system-environment interaction. Four cases are analyzed in detail including without decoherence, with amplitude damping decoherence, phase damping decoherence and depolarizing decoherence. Sampling periods are specifically designed for these cases to guarantee the required robustness. Two sufficient conditions are presented for the design of a unitary control for the cases without decoherence and with amplitude damping decoherence. The proposed approach has potential applications in quantum error-correction and in constructing robust quantum gates.

Sampled-data design for sliding mode control based on various robust specifications in open quantum system

Yinghua Ji, Juju Hu, Jianhua Huang +1 more

Due to the influence of decoherence, the quantum state probably evolves from the initial pure state to the mixed state, resulting in loss of fidelity, coherence and purity, which is deteriorating for quantum information transmission. Thus, in quantum engineering, quantum control should not only realize the transfer and track of quantum states through manipulation of the external electromagnetic field but also enhance the robustness against decoherence. In this paper, we aim to design a control law to steer the system into the sliding mode domain and maintain it in that domain when bounded uncertainties exist in the system Hamiltonian. We first define the required control performance by fidelity, degree of coherence and purity in terms of the uncertainty of the Hamiltonian in Markovian open quantum system. By characterizing the required robustness using a sliding mode domain, a sampled-data design method is introduced for decoherence control in the quantum system. Furthermore, utilizing the sampled data, a control scheme has been designed on the basis of sliding mode control, and the choice of sampling operator and driving of quantum state during the sampling by the Lyapunov control method are discussed.

Sampled-data control of two-level quantum systems based on sliding mode design

Daoyi Dong, Ian R. Petersen

This paper presents a sampled-data control approach based on sliding mode design for the robust control of a two-level quantum system, where the control law can be designed offline and then be used online for a quantum system with bounded uncertainties in the system Hamiltonian. Such a control law consists of a periodic sampling process and a Lyapunov control design. A sufficient condition on the relationships between related parameters in the control system is established and the Lyapunov control design is demonstrated by simulation, which can be used to show the required robustness of the quantum system in the presence of uncertainties.

This paper presents further results on the robust control method for qubit systems in Dong et al. (2013) Dong, D., Petersen, I.R., & Rabitz, H. (2013). Sampled-data design for robust control of a single qubit. IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 58, 2654–2659.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]. Based on the properties of an antisymmetric system, an alternative method is presented to analyse and exclude singularity intervals in the proof of partial original results. For the case of amplitude damping decoherence, a larger sampling period is presented when the upper bound of the probability of failure is small enough. For the case of phase damping decoherence, a larger sampling period is given when the lower bound of the target coherence is large enough. Furthermore, we provide improved sampling periods for amplitude damping decoherence and phase damping decoherence without the above prior constraints.
