Whither the Future of Controlling Quantum Phenomena?

HERSCHEL A. RABITZ, Regina de Vivie‐Riedle, Marcus Motzkus +1 more

This review puts into perspective the present state and prospects for controlling quantum phenomena in atoms and molecules. The topics considered include the nature of physical and chemical control objectives, the development of possible quantum control rules of thumb, the theoretical design of controls and their laboratory realization, quantum learning and feedback control in the laboratory, bulk media influences, and the ability to utilize coherent quantum manipulation as a means for extracting microscopic information. The preview of the field presented here suggests that important advances in the control of molecules and the capability of learning about molecular interactions may be reached through the application of emerging theoretical concepts and laboratory technologies.

基于拓扑的量子态跃迁的动态调整

Jincheng Zhang

This paper presents a novel dynamic adjustment algorithm for quantum state transitions, leveraging topological structure to optimize the transition process. Traditional quantum state transition algorithms often rely on static, deterministic procedures, limiting their flexibility and efficiency. This work introduces a dynamic adjustment mechanism that utilizes the inherent topological properties of quantum states to dynamically modify transition parameters, resulting in improved efficiency and precision in these transitions. We explore a specific instance of this algorithm, demonstrating its potential to enhance the fidelity and speed of quantum state manipulations. The core concept is to engineer the transition process through a carefully orchestrated manipulation of the underlying topological constraints. The algorithm's effectiveness is evaluated through simulations and analysis, providing a framework for future research and development in quantum state control.

Control of quantum phenomena: past, present and future

Constantin Brif, Raj Chakrabarti, HERSCHEL A. RABITZ

Quantum control is concerned with active manipulation of physical and chemical processes on the atomic and molecular scale. This work presents a perspective of progress in the field of control over quantum phenomena, tracing the evolution of theoretical concepts and experimental methods from early developments to the most recent advances. Among numerous theoretical insights and technological improvements that produced the present state-of-the-art in quantum control, there have been several breakthroughs of foremost importance. On the technology side, the current experimental successes would be impossible without the development of intense femtosecond laser sources and pulse shapers. On the theory side, the two most critical insights were (i) realizing that ultrafast atomic and molecular dynamics can be controlled via manipulation of quantum interferences and (ii) understanding that optimally shaped ultrafast laser pulses are the most effective means for producing the desired quantum interference patterns in the controlled system. Finally, these theoretical and experimental advances were brought together by the crucial concept of adaptive feedback control (AFC), which is a laboratory procedure employing measurement-driven, closed-loop optimization to identify the best shapes of femtosecond laser control pulses for steering quantum dynamics towards the desired objective. Optimization in AFC experiments is guided by a learning algorithm, with stochastic methods proving to be especially effective. AFC of quantum phenomena has found numerous applications in many areas of the physical and chemical sciences, and this paper reviews the extensive experiments. Other subjects discussed include quantum optimal control theory, quantum control landscapes, the role of theoretical control designs in experimental realizations and real-time quantum feedback control. The paper concludes with a perspective of open research directions that are likely to attract significant attention in the future.
