Abstract

An adaptive tracking algorithm is developed to achieve quantum system control field designs. The adaptive algorithm has the advantage of operating noniteratively to efficiently find desirable controls, and has the feature of high stability by suppressing the influence of disturbances from tracking singularities. The core of the adaptive tracking control algorithm is a self-learning track switch technique which is triggered by monitoring of the evolving system trajectory. The adaptive tracking algorithm is successfully tested for population transfer.

A control strategy for tracking the trajectory of a time-variant objective function in closed quantum systems is proposed in this paper. The Lyapunov stability theorem is used to design the control law. Meanwhile, the issue of singularity is discussed and the problem of large value of control field occurred during the process of tracking are solved by using an adaptive regulation algorithm of objective function. 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.

Dynamical trajectory tracking control in quantum systems

Zhu Yaping, Shuang Cong, Jianxiu Liu

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.

Jincheng Zhang

This paper proposes and analyzes an adaptive quantum feedback control system designed to optimize the performance of quantum devices. The core of the system lies in a real-time monitoring and adjustment mechanism utilizing a quantum sensor to measure the state of the quantum system. This measurement data is then fed back into a control algorithm, which dynamically adjusts the system parameters to achieve precise control. Unlike traditional control systems that are sensitive to parameter uncertainties, this adaptive approach leverages the inherent properties of quantum systems to enhance stability and performance. The theoretical framework presented here establishes a foundation for future research and development in adaptive quantum control, addressing key challenges in quantum device operation and manipulation. The system aims to provide a robust and flexible solution for controlling quantum systems with varying characteristics. The primary focus is on the control loop design and the feedback algorithm implementation, with an emphasis on achieving optimal performance under conditions of parameter uncertainty. This work contributes to the growing field of quantum control by introducing a novel adaptive strategy that can significantly improve the operational capabilities of quantum devices.

Adaptive Target Scheme for Learning Control of Quantum Systems

Wei Zhang, Daoyi Dong, Ian R. Petersen

Developing efficient algorithms is an important task in the learning control of quantum systems, since most learning control problems for quantum systems involve a heavy requirement for computational resources. In this paper, we employ a learning control algorithm with an adaptive target state developed in the chemical physics community for several classes of quantum control problems. For these problems applied to some new quantum control tasks, we further demonstrate that the algorithm using an adaptive target state can be more efficient than traditional learning control algorithms using a fixed target state. In the algorithm, the target state is updated according to the renormalized fragmentary yield in the desired region (or subspace) throughout the learning iterations. The adaptive target scheme is applied to three significant quantum control tasks, including the slow collision of a sodium cation and an iodine anion, the orientation of a LiH molecule, and population transfer between subspaces. Shaped laser pulses are obtained using the learning control algorithm, and numerical results are presented to demonstrate the advantages of the adaptive target scheme over the algorithm using a fixed target state. The adaptive target scheme is especially useful for learning control problems of quantum systems where the target state is not unique or known.
