Abstract

Quantum control strategy is discussed from the perspective of quantum information. First, the constraints imposed on quantum control by quantum theory are analyzed. Then some quantum control schemes based on quantum information are discussed, such as teleportation-based distant quantum control, quantum feedback control using quantum cloning and state recognition, quantum control based on measurement and Grover iteration. Finally, some applications of quantum control theory in quantum information and quantum computation such as quantum error correction coding, universality analysis of quantum computation, feedback-induced entanglement enhancement, etc., are presented and the potential applications of quantum control are also prospected.

INFORMATION-TECHNOLOGY APPROACH TO QUANTUM FEEDBACK CONTROL

Daoyi Dong, Chenbin Zhang, Zonghai Chen +1 more

Quantum control theory is profitably reexamined from the perspective of quantum information, two results on the role of quantum information technology in quantum feedback control are presented and two quantum feedback control schemes, teleportation-based distant quantum feedback control and quantum feedback control with quantum cloning, are proposed. In the first feedback scheme, the output from the quantum system to be controlled is fed back into the distant actuator via teleportation to alter the dynamics of system. The result theoretically shows that it can accomplish some tasks such as distant feedback quantum control that Markovian or Bayesian quantum feedback can not complete. In the second feedback strategy, the design of quantum feedback control algorithms is separated into a state recognition step, which gives "on-off" signal to the actuator through recognizing some copies from the cloning machine, and a feedback (control) step using another copies of cloning machine. A compromise between information acquisition and measurement disturbance is established, and this strategy can perform some quantum control tasks with coherent feedback.

Quantum control and Quantum information

Mohan Sarovar

Quantum information science has blossomed into a major research field over the past decade or so. In doing so, it has established links with several other areas of physics, computer science, and engineering. One of these areas is quantum control – the extension of control theory to physical systems whose dynamics are governed by quantum mechanics. Quantum control, like quantum information, is a fairly young field with remarkable technological consequences, and this cross-pollination is proving to be stimulating. In this thesis we explore some of the connections between quantum information and quantum control. In particular, (i) we examine quantum error correction from a quantum feedback control perspective, and demonstrate new continuous time implementations of quantum error correcting codes; (ii) we consider performing quantum feedback control experiments on a solid-state quantum computing architecture – circuit QED – and propose new measurement schemes that would enable such experiments; and (iii) we consider the problem of optimally estimating quantum processes, and in particular, analyze in detail the problem of optimally estimating a one-parameter quantum process.

Controlling quantum information

Andrew J. Landahl

Quantum information science explores ways in which quantum physical laws can be harnessed to control the acquisition, transmission, protection, and processing of information. This field has seen explosive growth in the past several years from progress on both theoretical and experimental fronts. Essential to this endeavor are methods for controlling quantum information. In this thesis, I present three new approaches for controlling quantum information. First, I present a new protocol for continuously protecting unknown quantum states from noise. This protocol combines and expands ideas from the theories of quantum error correction and quantum feedback control. The result can outperform either approach by itself. I generalize this protocol to all known quantum stabilizer codes, and study its application to the three-qubit repetition code in detail via Monte Carlo simulations. Next, I present several new protocols for controlling quantum information that are fault-tolerant. These protocols require only local quantum processing due to the topological properties of the quantum error correcting codes upon which they are built. I show that each protocol's fault-dependence behavior exhibits an order-disorder phase transition when mapped onto an associated statistical-mechanical model. I review the critical error rates of these protocols found by numerical study of the associated models, and I present new analytic bounds for them using a self-avoiding random walk argument. Moreover, I discuss fault-tolerant procedures for encoding, error-correction, computing, and decoding quantum information using these protocols, and calculate the accuracy threshold of fault-tolerant quantum memory for protocols using them. I end by presenting a new class of quantum algorithms that solve combinatorial optimization problems solely by measurement. I compute the running times of these algorithms by establishing an explicit dynamical model for the measurement process. This model, the digitized version of von Neumann's measurement model, is recognized as Kitaev's phase estimation algorithm. I show that the running times of these algorithms are closely related to the running times of adiabatic quantum algorithms. Finally, I present a two-measurement algorithm that achieves a quadratic speedup for Grover's unstructured search problem.

In this paper, an overview of research in quantum control is presented. Examples of work in the first theme include numerous applications of semi-definite programming and relaxation methods in quantum information theory. Examples of the second include applications of feedback control in the development of new receiver designs for quantum-optical telecom. The third theme is just beginning to emerge as an active research area, linking fundamental issues in quantum field theory with new challenges for applied and computational mathematics in non-commutative stochastic analysis and optimization.

Quantum Chaos and Control in Quantum Computing

Jincheng Zhang

This paper investigates the intersection of quantum chaos and quantum computing control. It explores the potential influence of chaotic behavior within quantum systems on computational processes and proposes control strategies to mitigate these effects. The core argument centers on the recognition of quantum chaos as a crucial, yet often overlooked, element in the precise control required for reliable quantum computation. Through the application of chaos theory, this work analyzes the manifestation of chaotic dynamics in quantum systems, detailing the implications for qubit stability and gate fidelity. Specific control techniques, including feedback mechanisms and tailored Hamiltonian designs, are examined and discussed, ultimately aiming to harness, rather than suppress, chaotic behavior to potentially enhance certain quantum algorithms. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between quantum systems and chaos, providing a foundation for the development of more robust and adaptable quantum control protocols. The study utilizes mathematical formalism to rigorously define and analyze the concepts explored, focusing on key equations governing quantum dynamics and chaotic systems.
